Senator Mary Henry With regard to Monsignor Ledwith I was dismayed to read the response of the bishops to whom complaints were made by six senior seminarians as they are described in the report as well as the senior dean of Maynooth College Fr Gerard McGinnity Cardinal Daly one of the surviving bishops indicated in his statement to the inquiry that it was entirely untrue that any seminarian had mentioned homosexuality to him in connection with Monsignor Ledwith He also stated it was not credible that he would have ignored allegations of homosexuality when he was already investigating the issue in Maynooth College The Cardinal added that if the issue had been raised with him Monsignor Ledwith would never have been appointed president of Maynooth College Unfortunately I have found that the Cardinal s memory is not always clear
