On 24th September 2011, Fr. Peter Muldowney a priest of the Diocese of Ossory requested me to allow him a period of leave from ministry so that a safeguarding matter received by the diocese concerning him could be addressed.
I adhered to his request.
All Church and State Safeguarding Guidelines were fully complied with.
I now inform you that this safeguarding matter has been withdrawn.
Father Peter returns to active ministry today, 5th May 2012.
I ask for your prayers for all concerned.
