Bishop was known for his relatively liberal views in the Catholic Church hierarchy
He spent more than 60 years in ministry in the Diocese of Killaloe beginning as a teacher in St Flannan’s College in 1968 where he taught maths, science, physics and religion for 25 years until his appointment as curate at the cathedral in Ennis in 1988.
He added: “He was dearly loved by the many whose lives he touched in his extraordinary pastoral ministry. Clare-based TD Cathal Crowe posted on X: “It was with great regret that I learned of the passing of Bishop Willie Walsh. He said of divorcing couples: “I don’t know their story and I would not stand in judgment on them so I don’t have difficulty with the State providing a service to people whose relationship has broken down.”
