Bishop Emeritus of Galway, Dr Eamon Casey, who turns 80 this week, and was due to have a small familial gathering to celebrate the occasion, incapacitated himself thereby preventing himself from being in a position to attend.Seemingly, according to our sources, the retired bishop was in Gort, Co Galway, which is only a short distance from his current abode in the parish of Beagh/Shanaglish when the accident occurred.
He was visiting a shop when he tripped and fell, injuring his hip in what is believed to be a serious way, thereby necessitating the cancellation of 3 separate functions to mark his birthday including the family gathering, one with the parish and the 3rd being with Trócaire of which Casey was chairman from 1973 and 1992 when he retired.
No doubt, in good time, these celebrations will happen again, and all here at Clerical Whispers wish Dr Casey a speedy recovery and belated birthday greeting.
