Retired bishop of Clogher Joseph Duffy [above] consistently missed opportunities to prevent clergy from sexually abusing children, according to the Catholic Church’s watchdog. The National Board for Safeguarding Children has published audits of several dioceses. It states that in one particular case in Clogher, there was an unacceptable delay in taking action against a priest and removing him from all ministry following receipt of a credible allegation.
Another priest suspected of multiple abuse was transferred to another parish and eventually was sent overseas for therapeutic help.
