Bishop’s words misrepresented

THE Bishop of Galway, Dr Martin Drennan, was asked on RTÉ radio if he thought Dr Eamon Casey should apologise.

Faced with such a leading question, what answer could he give, other than responding in the affirmative.

Subsequent RTÉ news bulletins announced that Bishop Drennan had called on Dr Casey to make a public apology, as if the Bishop had issued a formal statement to that effect.
