Victims groups hit out after the cardinal said Dr Magee should stay in office despite many calls for his resignation over his handling of child clerical sexual abuse.
Cardinal Brady said he believed the embattled bishop had learnt painful lessons from the Cloyne controversy.
Speaking in Kerry, the cardinal said: "I think he should stay to make sure that this child safeguarding is kept as a total priority in that diocese."
