Support for Cavan priest after Sean Quinn complained about him to Vatican

The Association of Catholic Priests received many messages from people applauding the organisation for coming out strongly in support of Co Cavan priest Fr Oliver O'Reilly after it emerged that businessman Sean Quinn complained about him to the Vatican.

Fr O'Reilly, parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, spoke about the hatred and savagery that provoked the brutal attack on Quinn Industrial Holdings director, Kevin Lunney, in his homily during a Sunday Mass last September.
