One in Four
The former Bishop of Galway Dr Éamon Casey is confident there is no foundation to the child abuse allegation recently made against him, according to the Bishop of Killaloe, Dr Willie Walsh.
Dr Walsh said yesterday that Dr Casey phoned him on Thursday to thank him for comments he made earlier this week on the allegation made against the former bishop.
In Dublin last Monday, Dr Walsh said the allegation seemed to be without any reasonable foundation, and that expecting Dr Casey to stand down on the basis of such an allegation was contrary to natural justice.
Speaking yesterday on Clare FM's Morning Focus programme, Dr Walsh said he received a phone-call from "Bishop Eamon" on Thursday.
