Papal visit to Ireland a possiblity, says Papal Nuncio

The Papal Nuncio to Ireland has said a papal visit is “possible”.

On a visit to Moyross in Limerick, Archbishop Charles Brown, the Pope’s representative in Ireland, also said the Vatican is doing “everything possible” to deal with senior Church figures involved in the cover-up of clerical child sexual abuse.

He was responding to a call by Boston’s Cardinal Seán O’Malley for the Vatican to immediately tackle the case of an American Bishop convicted of shielding an abusive priest.
