The first lay person to assume the position of child protection officer
in the Catholic diocese of Cloyne has resigned in a dispute over the
handling by Bishop William Crean of the case of defrocked priest Dan
Duane.
Bill Meagher, a former HSE social worker who was appointed the designated liaison person for the diocese in 2011, quit his post yesterday after Bishop Crean sought clarification from the Vatican over the position of the former 75-year-old Mallow priest who has continued to celebrate Mass in defiance of the Church ruling.
