No place in education for Bishops implicated in Murphy report
Issued : Friday 27 November, 2009
Statement by Pat Rabbitte TD
Minister for Communications, Energy & Natural Resources
Whether Bishops implicated in the Murphy Report resign or not is a matter for the Catholic Church.
However, whether any such Bishop should remain as a patron of a school or otherwise continue in the management or supervision of education or health provision for children is a matter for the State.
Therefore where a Bishop has been directly implicated in the Murphy Report, he should have no role as a school patron.
