The quiet removal of Bishop Eamonn Casey’s remains from the crypt beneath Galway Cathedral has ignited both reflection and division across Ireland. The move, carried out discreetly in recent weeks and only confirmed in a statement from the Diocese of Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora last weekend, marks a historic and unprecedented decision in the Catholic Church in Ireland. It follows months of internal consultation and dialogue with the late bishop’s family and comes a year after explosive allegations of child sexual abuse were aired publicly in an RTÉ documentary.
