Fahey: No need for Bishop of Galway to resign

A FORMER Government minister has said there is no need for the Bishop of Galway to resign in the wake of the Murphy Report.

Fianna Fáil TD for Galway West Frank Fahey said the message he is getting from constituents is that Bishop Martin Drennan should stay on.

Bishop Drennan has robustly defended his time as an auxiliary bishop in Dublin since publication of the report which found he had dealt appropriately with the only abuse case of which he was informed.
