Bishop Buckley announces a number of appointments to the Cork Cathedral Chapter

On the retirement of Dean Denis O'Connor, Bishop Buckley has appointed Canon Micheal O'Dalaigh as Dean of Cork. Dean O'Dalaigh is currently Parish Priest of Curahheen Parish.

Bishop Buckley has also appointed to the Chapter:

Canon Bertie O'Mahony, PP Carrigaline,
 
Canon Richard Hurley, PP St. Finbarr's South,
 
Canon George Murphy, PP Minane Bridge,
 
and Canon Denis O'Leary, PP Bandon.
 
The Appointments have immediate effect. 

While many of the ceremonial functions of the Chapter have disappeared after Vatican II, they have an important role as Trustees of the Diocese.
