A CATHOLIC priest from Magherafelt has said many priests feel demoralised by clerical child abuse.

Father Eamon Murray, who is now based at St Peter’s Church, Biggleswade, said Cardinal Sean Brady would have to do “a lot of soul searching”.

Fr Murray was speaking on the Nolan Show following allegations that Cardinal Brady had names and addresses of children abused by Father Brendan Smyth back in 1975.

Smyth, a paedophile, continued to attack children for further 13 years.
