BISHOP Gerard Hanna has spoken of being forced to work with suspected
paedophile priest John Farrell and of the tight restrictions he placed
on him. The retiring Bishop of Wagga diocese was questioned about
Farrell on Wednesday at the Royal Commission into Institutional
Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The bishop said he was parish priest of St Nicholas’ in Tamworth in 1984 when Farrell was foisted on him by Bishop Henry Kennedy amid rumours of inappropriate behaviour following his overnight removal from Moree.
