Cardinal Seán Brady has publicly apologised to Brendan Boland, a survivor of paedophile priest Fr Brendan Smyth.

Seán Brady has no intention of stepping aside

Speaking at Lough Derg following a penitential pilgrimage in advance of next month’s Eucharistic Congress, Dr Brady also said he had no intention of stepping aside, despite continuing calls for his resignation.

He said there had also been “many many calls from people who want me to stay on.”

But he said he hoped a coadjutor – with succession rights – would be appointed to his archdiocese as soon as possible.
