THERE HAVE BEEN allegations made against 14 priest since 1975 in the Diocese of Ossory.
It’s reported that most of these occurred under the tenure of Bishops Peter Birch and Laurence Forristal.
Bishop Séamus Freeman was appointed in 2007 and has dealt with allegations against two living priests since then.
Both those allegations were made in the past six years and the report says both ‘have been appropriately managed with timely notifications to the civil authorities.’
