A North Clare Senator has called for ‘fundamental clean-out’ of the Catholic Church in Ireland, following Cardinal Sean Brady’s handling of abuse allegations against Father Brendan Smyth in the 1970’s.
Fine Gael representative Martin Conway says that Cardinal Brady has lost all respect among Church-goers, and must resign – his call has been backed up by former TD and Kilnamona Councillor James Breen.

The Catholic Press Office has rejected as untrue a report today that Cardinal Sean Brady offered to step down two years ago, and despite mounting pressure there are no indications that he will leave his position as the head of the Church here.
However, Senator Conway feels he should have no other choice.
