EDUCATION Minister Ruairi Quinn has become the latest politician to call on Cardinal Sean Brady to consider his position, following allegations in a BBC documentary about a church inquiry into child abuse in the 1970s.
Earlier Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore and Fr Brian D’Arcy also commented on his position.
Mr Quinn said this stance was appropriate because Cardinal Brady is the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, which is the patron of 92pc of the 3,200 primary schools.
He said that the Catholic Church also should consider the appropriateness of having at its head someone who had ”failed spectacularly to protect children.”
