  New Archbishop May Sell Diocesan Assets

Irish Examiner [Ireland]
April 27, 2004

The new Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has reportedly indicated his willingness to sell diocesan assets to compensate clerical sex abuse victims.

Reports this morning said Dr Martin had signalled that he was willing to consider selling any assets that could be legally disposed of as part of a “non-adversarial model” of dealing with victims of sex abuse.

He reportedly suggested that one such asset could be the 20 acres of land attached to the Clonliffe College seminary in the Drumcondra area of Dublin.

Dr Martin took over as Archbishop of Dublin yesterday after the Pope accepted the resignation of his predecessor, Cardinal Desmond Connell.
