"Public" meeting exposed as sham. Meeting consisted of 65 priests and 15 invited lay people

So now the truth is out there. This so called meeting of priests & lay people that issued the statement supporting Bishop Murray consisted of 65 priests and 15 invited lay people . So much for public consultation.

This statement was carried on RTE news as if it was was issued by a genuine public consultation in Limerick rather than just a PR stunt.

This comes after a meeting of 80 members of the Limerick diocese - 65 priests and 15 lay people - issued a statement in support of the Bishop Murray, saying: “We believe it would be a retrograde step for the continuing development of safeguarding children, in our diocese and society, for our bishop to resign”.
