Following Archbishop Diarmuid Martin’s decision, it was rumoured Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan would send his seminarians to Rome.
Reports suggested the Bishop of Waterford and Lismore had let it be known he would be withdrawing trainee priests from St Patrick’s College.
As the fallout from Dr Martin’s comments on the culture at Maynooth continued, Bishop Cullinan did not confirm his position on the issue.
