It is with sadness that I learn of the death of Bishop Eamonn Casey.
He was bishop of the diocese of Kerry from 1969 to 1976. His years in our diocese were a time of growth and expansion in terms of social services for youth and the elderly, for the poor and disadvantaged, also services to marriage and family.
The Kerry mission to Kenya commenced. A major renovation of the Cathedral was undertaken. Bishop Casey was a driving force in all of this. It is hard to believe it is now over forty years since he transferred to Galway diocese.
On behalf of myself and Bishop Bill Murphy and the whole community of
the diocese of Kerry I sympathise with his family, his extended family
and all who mourn him.
