Vandals hit former child protection chief’s car

A CAR belonging to the diocese of Cloyne’s former child protection delegate was vandalised overnight last weekend.

Gardaí in Mallow are investigating the incident, in which slogans were daubed on the car.

Monsignor Denis O’Callaghan stepped down from his child protection role just over 18 months ago in advance of the publication of the Catholic Church’s National Board for Safeguarding Children’s (NBSC) report into the handling of child abuse in the diocese of Cloyne.
