'Priest was protected in 1972 bombing probe'

[oldironside]

"A police investigation into a Catholic priest suspected over the 1972 Claudy bomb outrage was stopped after senior officers conspired with the government and Church to protect him, a shock new report revealed today.

Father James Chesney was transferred to a parish in Co Donegal, outside the Northern Ireland jurisdiction, following secret talks between the then secretary of state William Whitelaw and the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal William Conway."

I wonder if there's any major crime the Catholic church hasn't covered up. Interesting here though, that it was done with the collusion of a Tory government. Once a bunch of bastards...

1. Hmm. Looks like the Church was asked for help by the

government and constabulary. The latter reportedly took the first step.

Convenient time to go public now that the parties concerned are all dead.

2. Well in that case...

... I look forward to hearing the unvarnished truth about the invasion of Iraq.
