| Former bishop of Cloyne, Dr John Magee |
The Bishop damned by the latest report into child sex abuse by religious in Ireland has apologized – from an American bolthole.
Dr John Magee, the former Bishop in the Diocese of Cloyne at the heart of the latest scandal, has been damned by the latest judicial enquiry.
The report also contains allegations that the Bishop was reported for kissing an altar boy during his time in the diocese.
Bishop Magee, currently believed to be in hiding in the United States, issued a statement apologising for 'failing all those who were abused by priests in the Diocese of Cloyne'.
The report accuses the Bishop of overseeing a regime that failed repeatedly to report abuse cases to Irish police.
