Some of your priests are not well, and indeed one is currently now dealing with terminal cancer...and has blocked you from making contact with him. Too much pastoral care Fintan?
Another has transferred for respite to a different parochial house, and it is hoped to have him back in action before Christmas....but he may not return at all...which would certainly raise further questions about your ability to dispense of priests faster than you can import them from India!!
Which raises the subject of compliance of the Diocese in relation to compliance with passport and migration papers from India to Killaloe...which saw the delaying of another import from another Indian Diocese to Killaloe Diocese earlier this summer.
There is an ongoing feud between 2 of your priests in a parish in the South East of County Clare which has contributed to one of the priests being hospitalised with a stroke, and only recently discharged from hospital in recent days.
And in all of this, you are bringing together the Vicars general of the Diocese this coming week to try and see what can be done in relation to getting a grip on the situation - a situation of your own making let it be noted.
We are going to publish in due course, the intricate links between the Diocese of Killaloe and a few organisations such as Clare County Council, British Horseracing Authority, Irish Horse Racing Regulatory Board, RTÉ and the legal profession, with An Garda Síochána thrown in to the very corrupt mix.
You may have some hearing issues Fintan (and they are more than figurative) but you - and others - will be well able to read what we have got coming your way!!
Tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg.....
