	Comiskey to Give Evidence Irish Independent May 2, 2007 http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=9&si=1822778&issue_id=15575 Disgraced Bishop Brendan Comiskey is set to become the first member of the Church hierarchy to give evidence in an abuse case. The Irish Independent has learnt that Bishop Comiskey, who has made one public appearance in Wexford since he stepped down as Bishop of Ferns, is one of a number of witnesses subpeonaed to appear in the High Court in a compensation action taken by an alleged abuse victim. Five years ago, the bishop was forced to resign over claims that he had failed to deal adequately with a host of allegations that Fr Sean Fortune and other clerics were abusing children in the diocese. The alleged victim is suing the diocese in what is expected to be the first diocesan abuse case to go to full hearing in the High Court.
