Public health officials in Ireland say they are reviewing the work history of the Catholic priest profiled in the Netflix series “The Keepers,” who was employed as a psychologist in that country after leaving Baltimore amid sexual abuse allegations.
The priest, A. Joseph Maskell, worked in Wexford for about seven months in 1995 as a temporary clinical psychologist for an Irish public health board, according to the national health agency there. He later worked in private practice in Ireland between 1995 and 1998, church officials in Ireland say.
He died in 2001 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson.
The Health Service Executive, the agency that runs public health services in Ireland, said in a statement that it has begun a process to “review services delivered and regarding any concerns” about Maskell’s employment with the public South Eastern Health Board.
