A KEY Catholic Archdiocese has pledged to provide assistance to an American woman who claims to be Fr Michael Cleary’s third child.

Felicia Irwin (29) revealed in the Irish Independent at the weekend that she is attempting to find out if she is his biological child.

A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Dublin yesterday said: “If the Diocese can be of help it will assist where it can.”

However she said: “The Diocese hasn’t received any information on this so far, other than what has been reported [in the media].”
