Fr Lamda (deceased)

IRELAND
One in Four

In a letter dated November 5th, 1996, sent to Bishop Comiskey, Jonathon outlined his struggle with bouts of depression over a long period of time.

He said he now felt free to admit that he had been a victim of abuse as an altar boy by this priest, who was a dear friend of his parents and thought of as an "adopted uncle".

He went on to state in his letter that his counsellor would write directly to Bishop Comiskey and that this counsellor was free to share with the bishop whatever he felt like sharing.
