The Final Resting Place of Bishop Eamonn Casey
The remains of former Bishop Eamonn Casey have been relocated from the Cathedral crypt in Galway, with his family now taking responsibility for his final resting place. This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing narrative surrounding Casey, who was once a prominent figure within the Catholic Church but later became the subject of serious allegations.
In a statement released by the Galway Diocesan Office, there was an expression of gratitude to the public for their understanding and patience during the process of making and executing decisions regarding Casey’s remains. The statement emphasized the importance of the Cathedral as a symbol of unity, healing, and peace. It noted that a strong consensus had developed around the unique role of the Cathedral, highlighting its purpose as a place of harmony rather than division.

Following prayers for the deceased, the remains were moved from the Cathedral Crypt and handed over to Casey’s family. The family has made it clear that they wish for the arrangements concerning his final resting place to remain private. They have requested that their privacy be respected during this time, reflecting their desire for a dignified and quiet process.
This move comes after years of scrutiny and discussion about Casey’s legacy. In July of last year, Bishop Michael Duignan of Galway mentioned that the interment of Casey in the crypt beneath the Galway Cathedral was under careful consideration. This came in the wake of a RTÉ documentary that portrayed Casey as a sexual predator. Bishop Duignan described the issue as sensitive, noting that it affects people in various ways and has multiple facets.
Casey was buried in the crypt in 2017, but the recent developments reflect a shift in how the Church is handling such matters. The documentary in question explored the Catholic Church’s response to allegations against Casey, who passed away at the age of 89. It included an interview with Casey’s niece, Patricia Donovan, who shared her experience of being raped by him when she was just five years old. She also spoke about the continued abuse she endured over the years.

The program also revealed that a six-figure settlement was paid by the Catholic Church to one complainant following Casey’s death. Additionally, it was disclosed that the Vatican had banned Casey from public ministry in 2007 due to “allegations.” Despite these claims, Casey consistently denied all accusations of child sexual abuse. Although the complaints were reported to An Garda Síochána, he was never charged or prosecuted for any sexual crimes.
This case has sparked broader conversations about accountability, transparency, and the handling of sensitive issues within religious institutions. The decision to move Casey’s remains reflects a commitment to addressing these concerns with care and respect. As the Church continues to navigate complex issues related to past actions, the focus remains on fostering healing and ensuring that the voices of those affected are heard and respected.
