| Bishop Donal Murray |
THE Bishop of Limerick, Donal Murray, still maintains he has a clear conscience and was not involved in the cover-up of child sexual abuse complaints within the Dublin diocese.
In an exclusive interview in this weekend's Limerick Leader, Dr Donal Murray said he doesn't feel "the full truth" is being heard in how the sickening report reflects on his term of office as auxiliary bishop of Dublin between 1982 and 1996 – and that parts of the report were "unfair" towards him.
As he engages on a period of consultation over the next "couple of weeks", by which time he may decide to resign, Bishop Murray insisted he had no desire to cling to power for the sake of it.
"I have no urge to hold onto my job; I'm not here defending my good job. What I do want is whatever decision I make, that the truth is heard. I have to say I don't think it is fully being heard at the moment."
Also in the interview he stated: "I certainly acted in good faith and did my best at all times. I have no pangs of conscience about that."
