Bishop Wishy Washy of Killaloe has no doubt been considered one of, if not the most humane bishop this country has ever seen, especially when he gave the Travelling community use of his front lawn a few years ago....no planning permission sought though!!!However it seems trouble is never too far from his door now that the near 72 year old has decided to consider a possible pastoral placement for convicted priest Fr Desmond. He was convicted in a Waterford court of having abused sexually a then minor, got a suspended sentence placed on the Sex Offenders Register and ordered pay financial compensation to his victim now 34 years old.
The bishop has not ruled out the possibility of employing the now convicted child abuser stating that he would consult with the Diocesan Child Protection Committee to consider a possible placement....one thing Bishop...you had better consult the people of the Diocese you are supposed to be shepherd to also....
