This is the report of the meeting between the ACP and members of Dublin Priests’ Council. It was agreed at the start of the meeting that while everything could be reported, views would not be attributed to particular people.
The ACP have issued a statement on the controversy afflicting Maynooth at present.
“While it is important that the highest standards prevail in Maynooth, the response to whatever the crisis is – real or imaginary – demands more than moving a few students to Rome and offering a few unconvincing reasons for the decision.”
