No need for Bishop of Galway to step down, says TD

Galway West Fianna Fáil TD Frank Fahey has said there is no reason for the Bishop of Galway Martin Drennan to resign.

Dr Drennan said this week that a letter he received from the Archbishop of Dublin put his integrity in question.

Diarmiud Martin has written to all Bishops in the wake of the Murphy report into clercial child sexual abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese.

There have been calls for a series of resignations at the highest levels in the church in light of the cover-up of abuse highlighted in the report.
