| Dr John Magee |
The Bishop of Cloyne, Dr John Magee, has rejected calls for him to resign over his handling of child sexual abuse by clergy in his diocese.
The calls have come from a number of quarters, including from the father of an alleged victim, a former priest of his diocese and a victims' support organisation.
Speaking on RTE Radio's Morning Ireland, the father of an alleged victim called for the Church to 'kick out' Dr Magee.
A report by the National Safeguarding Board for Children in the Catholic Church (NBSCCC) published last week found the Catholic Church had not responded properly to abuse allegations.
A NBSCCC review of child abuse inquiries in the diocese of Cloyne found that Church authorities broke their own rules on reporting allegations.
