Magee’s return shrouded in mystery

THE house belonging to the parish of Mitchelstown, Co Cork, where former bishop of Cloyne Dr John Magee was spotted last week, was deserted yesterday, and his whereabouts are once again unknown.

Parishioners using a short cut that passes by the front door of the house at the top of Convent Hill in Mitchelstown expressed surprise to hear he had returned.

“We didn’t hear anyone in the town mention it, but maybe people didn’t know,” one woman said.
