Comiskey due to give evidence at sex abuse inquiry
FORMER Bishop of Ferns, Dr Brendan Comiskey, who resigned over his handling of sex abuse allegations against the late Fr Sean Fortune, is expected to give evidence to the inquiry into sex abuse in the diocese later this month. Dr Comiskey, resigned in disgrace, on April 1, 2002, and is understood to be in New York undertaking an addiction counselling course.
The diocese sold his luxury bungalow on the Curracloe road outside the town, which was purchased as a retirement home.
It is expected that an interim report of the Ferns non-statutory inquiry into clerical sex abuse is to be given to Health Minister Micheál Martin by the end of the month.
The inquiry has now shifted to St Peter’s College in Wexford town, which trained many of the priests involved in the allegations.
