The trustees of St Patrick’s College Maynooth are to meet before the end of August to address the crisis at the seminary.
It is understood the Catholic primate Archbishop Eamon Martin, who is away, has been in contact with Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin and St Patrick’s College president Msgr Hugh Connolly.
The college has been at the centre of controversy for more than a week since it emerged Archbishop Martin was no longer going to send Dublin seminarians to it because of the “poisonous” atmosphere.
He said students were accessing gay dating apps and anonymous letters were being circulated accusing seminarians of misconduct.
The college trustees are the four Catholic Archbishops in Ireland and 13 diocesan bishops.
