Funeral takes place of priest at centre of sex abuse alle

The funeral of Fr. Sean Fortune, the Wexford priest at the centre of sex abuse allegations took place this morning in Gorey, County Wexford. A packed St. Michael’s Parish Church heard the Bishop Of Ferns, Dr. Brendan Comiskey address the victims.

He said he recognised that because of the particular circumstances there would be reluctance on the part of some to avail of any offer of help from the Church. Nevertheless, he once again offered this service from the diocese and his own service to help in whatever way he could.
