Priest sent abroad was ‘hard to get on with’

Correspondence between a senior Redemptorist in Limerick and a bishop in New South Wales has been submitted to a special commission of inquiry into child sex abuse in the Church there.
The documentation, reported in The Australian newspaper, shows the Limerick provincial (head of the order) John Treacy wrote to the bishop of Maitland in 1949 asking if he would “take one of our students”, Denis McAlinden.
