Brisbane pays €61k to victims of priest who lived in Cloyne
A dual Irish Examiner and Australian-based Irish Echo investigation has confirmed that authorities in Brisbane made three payouts to alleged victims of a priest named “Fr Rion” in the Murphy Commission report, in addition to another Cloyne-related payment.
The Irish-born priest, who was ordained in Australia from 1933, retired to north Cork on “health” grounds in 1971.
