Mourners at the funeral of a controversial Irish bishop who resigned over his handling of cleric abuse allegations have been told that one moment cannot define a person’s life or legacy.
Bishop Brendan Comiskey, who died this week at the age of 89, quit as bishop of the Ferns diocese in the south-east of Ireland in 2002 after acknowledging failings in his handling of complaints against notorious priest Fr Sean Fortune.
