The Bishop of Limerick “did the right thing” by resigning, the Archbishop of Dublin has said.
Dr Donal Murray resigned on Thursday, weeks after his handling of child sex abuse allegations was criticised.
The Murphy Report on abuse by priests in the Dublin Archdiocese found his handling of one case while an auxiliary bishop in the 1980s was “inexcusable”.
Dr Diarmuid Martin said “responsibility must be taken by all who hold a position of authority”.
“This is without doubt, a period of deep crisis in this Archdiocese. Priests and people of this diocese see that there can be no healing without radical change,” the archbishop continued
“Along with many others, I am committed to that change.”
