Clarification

IN our editorial of 24 December we stated that in 1993 Bishop James Moriarty had “learned the priest identified as Fr Edmondus in the Murphy report was sexually abusing children in the Dublin diocese.”

We wish to clarify that this comment was incorrect, and that in 1993 Bishop Moriarty had no knowledge that Fr Edmondus had a history of abusing prior to his appointment to Edenmore Parish.
