[Murphy Report – Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin – BishopAccountability.org]
Fr Brendan Leahy has been appointed Bishop of Limerick by Pope Benedict XVI.
Fr Leahy, who is a professor of theology at St Patrick’s College in Maynooth, succeeds Dr Donal Murray.
Dr Murray resigned three years ago following the publication of the Murphy Report.
The report had found that Dr Murray mishandled sexual abuse allegations in the Archdiocese of Dublin, where he had been a bishop before moving to Limerick.
