THREE priests against whom allegations were made remain in ministry in the Galway diocese.
Galway Bishop, Martin Drennan said the three men where not removed from ministry because the concerns expressed were “not of a sufficient nature” to warrant their removal from ministry.
“The HSE and the gardai advised us that what was being done was sufficient in terms of monitoring,” he told Galway Bay fm.
The review of the Diocese of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora covers files from 1975 up to 2010. It was carried out in January of this year and took three months to complete.
It revealed that allegations were made against 14 priests between the dates covered. The dioceses had reviewed 38 allegations over that period. No priests have been named in the report.
