BISHOP DRENNAN PAINED BY SAD STORIES OF RYAN ABUSE REPORT

Date Published: 22-May-2009

Bishop of Galway Martin Drennan has issued a statement in reaction to the Ryan religious abuse report, and says this is a time to accept the truth of what happened in the past.

One of the institutions covered in the report – Salthill Industrial School – is in Bishop Drennan’s diocese

However, unlike his counterpart in the Tuam diocese Archbishop Neary, Bishop Drennan stops short of making an apology in today’s statement.

He does say it’s not a time for excuses and that the truth accepted will eventually set us free.
