SENATE President John Hogg says he will take no action against independent senator Nick Xenophon for wrongly naming in parliament an Adelaide priest as a perpetrator of clerical sexual abuse.

In a letter to Monsignor Ian Dempsey obtained by The Australian, Senator Hogg said it was not his role "to make judgments about the speeches made by senators".
