Parishioners are asked to pay for "Mismanagement"
This latest con from the Catholic Church being suggested by Bishop Dennis Brennan
is just not on. Regarding funding of claims associated with child abuse and the planned and methodical cover-up engineered by the "Managers", he had this to say,
Quote
“the funding of claims associated with child abuse as perpetrated by some members of the clergy”, it would “be necessary to invite the parishes to become part of the process financially”
Let's not forget Justice Frank Murphy's report in 2005, these things happened in the Ferns Diocese 1960 - 2004
Revolting and repeated abuses perpetuated by priests against children
Over 100 child victims
Over 20 priests identified as perpetrators
Proof that the rape and indecent assault of our young children was well known to the so called
management level within the dioceses - The Bishops.
Proof that these so called managers - The Bishops, knew who the abusers were
Proof that The Bishops with this full knowledge moved their abusing Priests from parish to parish
The Vatican have funds but, Brennan, steeped in denial feels that,
"We (The people of Ferns) should discharge our responsibilities ourselves", “funding sought is not about sharing the blame, it is about asking for help to fulfil a God-given responsibility".
In other words the parishioners of Ferns should pay for the sins of it's Church leaders. The Ferns parishioners should foot the bill for being ruled by unelected incompetent ivory tower managers who committed the crimes outlined above.
Do these fellows not ultimately report up the line to the Vatican? to the Pope. Who is responsible then? they are, he is , let them sort it out themselves. Is it too simplistic to point out to Brennan, that it is his responsibility, and the responsibility of his boss. Let these chaps fulfil their own "God-given responsibilities".
I myself am a regular Church goer and will continue to be regardless of what the current "Management" get up to or what further farcical and insulting behaviour that might emanate from them, however, it is extremely sad that we continue to suffer such disconnect and incompetence from this lot.
The recent letter issued by Bishop Brennan to priests and people of the diocese with requests for financial assistance to pay for their criminal activities indeed sets a precedent and one should not be surprised to see the same strategy employed by other Bishops through the land.
Walking down the town soon after the Bishops announcements I was stopped by several people who expressed incredulity, disgust and bewelderment at this latest turn of events.
We should remember that "We are the Church" and that now is the time to take control back from these guys

Resignation St. Patrick Day's Committee PRO
Ger Walsh today tendered his resignation as PRO from Gorey Town's St. Patrick's Day Committee after a somewhat incomprehensible altercation with an individual committee member who appeared to have assumed the Chair and proceeded to allude to recent newspaper articles in the Star Newspaper and elsewhere. The issue appeared to be that the Committee were not receiving the publicity that they felt appropriate.
Mr Walsh pointed out that he did indeed provide the newspapers with recent updates of the committee's activities, the fact that the papers choose not to publish articles was something that he could not have full control over. To satisfy this committee member, Mr Walsh returned home to retrieve recent correspondence that he had delivered to the papers pertaining to the St. Patrick's Day Committees activities.
He pointed out that several press releases had not been channelled through him, that this prevented the maximising of publicity opportunities and he was no longer prepared to put up with it. The fact that other articles appeared about him was not relevant and should not be relevant to the business of the St, Patrick's Day Committee. Furthermore the Committee would no longer be receiving any financial contribution from him towards their activities.

Disappointing turn-out For Tidy Towns’ AGM
Thursday, February 25, 2010 Gorey Echo
THE COMMITTEE of Gorey Tidy Towns expressed disappointment this week at the poor turnout at its annual general meeting.
The chairman, Ger Walsh, expressed his disappointment at the lack of representation from local business, Gorey Chamber of Commerce and the general public at the meeting.
After a lengthy discussion in which members contemplated disbanding Tidy Towns altogether, it was eventually decided that renewed efforts would be employed to further progress the Gorey Tidy Towns objectives based on the current 3-year-plan Mr. Walsh said in a statement this week following the meeting in the Loch Garman Arms on Tuesday last, February 16 where less than 20 people turned up.
Speaking to the Echo on Monday, Mr. Walsh pointed out that only one public representative was present at the meeting.
“Robbie Ireton was the only public representative at the meeting and while Malcolm Byrne sent his apologies, none of the others were there even though I had written to all of them.”
Mr. Walsh had also written to the Gorey Chamber of Commerce ten days before the meeting, but received a phone call on the afternoon of the AGM to say Gorey Chamber wouldn’t be able to send someone to the meeting because it was too short notice.
“Gorey Chamber’s job is to promote businesses in the town and the cleaner the town the more business it will do.”
Mr. Walsh praised his committee for the work they carried out during the year and the meeting heard there were 1,200 bags of rubbish collected by the Tidy Towns in 2009.
At the meeting, appreciation was extended to Wexford County Council, Gorey Town Council, FÁS, committee members and all volunteers for their continued assistance and support.
The committee also pointed out it is seeking additional volunteers for Saturday work between 10a.m. and 1p.m. where refreshments will be provided. The officers voted in at the meeting were: Ger Walsh (Chairperson); Liz Kenny (Vice Chairperson); Cel Leacy (Treasurer); Mary Porter (Secretary) and committee members Carmel, Pat and Robbie.
