KILLALOE DIOCESAN LAND.

EMAIL FROM “CONCERNED” KILLALOE

Dear Bishop Buckley

I have been informed that u have an interest in the diocese of killaloe.

This might be of interest to you.

St Flannans College were left land by Mary Charolette McNamara on condition that it not be sold or let. It was to remain part of st Flannans College in Ennis

The current bishop has taken a commercial decision to sell 5 acres of it against the wishes of the board of management of the school and many residents

He is refusing to acknowledge the bequest condition and the charity regulator is sitting on the fence.

Many locals are concerned about the sale as it will lead to further erosion in n the lands for commercial gain.

The sale must be stopped.

PAT SAYS

I have always regarded the dying wishes of people as sacrosanct.

They should only be disregarded in the most serious of circumstances.

Obviously the RCC does not feel the same 😞

MY LAST MESSAGE FROM BILL MULVIHILL

He meant there are several ways of spelling Buckley.

A relative of mine spotted him in Skerries.

I do not reply to Bill’s nasty messages.

Keep him in your prayers 🙏
