Brent Spiner unleashes his rather fine impression of Patrick Stewart at this year’s Emerald City Comicon event. Apparently, it was good enough to fool Stewart’s missus over the phone.

Statement from Bishop John Magee

I take this opportunity to refer once again to the statement issued on my behalf on the day the Cloyne Report was published, in which I accept full responsibility for the failure of the Diocese to effectively manage allegations on child sexual abuse.

I also apologised to victims of abuse in this statement and I unreservedly apologise to these victims again today.I publicly apologised to victims of abuse in the Diocese, in Cobh Cathedral, on Christmas Eve 2008.

I wish to point out that I answered all questions put to me by the Commission of Inquiry and my responses are on the public record, as part of the published report. I have nothing to add to the answers given at that time.

I also take this opportunity to say that I let the many good priests of the diocese down. So many priests do such good work and by not addressing the issues which confronted me I made their important work more difficult. I also want to apologise to the people of the diocese for not managing this important work more effectively.

I offered my resignation to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on 9 March 2010 and this was accepted on 24 March.

I am a retired bishop living at a house so kindly provided for my use by the diocese, in the parish of Mitchelstown. I now ask for some privacy.
