'I never declined to be interviewed' - former Archbishop Burke

A former Catholic Archbishop has said that he first learned about RTÉ's 'Mission To Prey' documentary 12 days before it was to be screened after he sent an email to his order with queries about it. Tipperary native Richard Burke told the High Court yesterday that he was unaware RTÉ had been in contact with the Kiltegan Fathers on several occasions since March 2011.
He said he did not know in advance he would personally be featured on Prime Time Investigates programme and it was incorrect for RTÉ to say on the programme he had declined to be interviewed.
