Talk:Fethard-on-Sea

message: This page seems unsure if its a gazeteer entry for the place, or an account of the boycott controversy. If the former, it needs more than 2 sentences; if the latter, it needs different categories, and a different title. Swanny18 12:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've move the last paragraph :-
"Alleged paedophile priest Father Sean Fortune served in the of parish of Poulfur in St.Aidans church, located a couple of miles from Fethard-on-Sea. Fortune killed himself in March 1999 while facing 26 charges relating to the sexual abuse of boys."
It seems out of place here, as it refers to somewhere else altogether. I feel it belongs on the page about Poulfur, when that is written, but as there are already better links to the Fortune page on the Diocese of Ferns page, and in the Sex Scandals category, I'd question its relevance here. Opinions? Swanny18 13:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've moved this:- 
"Feathard-on-Sea was the focus of further controversy involving the Catholic Church when a man later revealed to be a notorious clerical paedophile, Fr Sean Fortune, was appointed curate in the parish in the 1980s. Deputations of parents petitioned the local bishop, Brendan Comiskey, reporting allegations of improper behaviour by the curate. Though Comiskey received what was described as "concrete" evidence that the priest was sexually abusing young men in the parish in 1986, the bishop did not remove Fortune for a further two years. Instead he sent him for psychological treatment while failing to report the priest's crimes to the Garda Siochana. 
When details of his criminal activities were finally repealed, Fr Fortune committed suicide, in 1999. His behaviour while in Fethard-on-Sea, and the failure of the local bishop to remove him, earned international headlines, eventually featuring in a BBC documentary, Suing the Pope.Sunday Business Post. October 2005."
...for the reasons given above: 
Also because the subject was put here for discussion, so can there be some discussion, please?
Does it belong here? And why?
And now it seems to be saying he was parish priest in Fethard; is that correct? Swanny18 14:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the Historic Environment Viewer of the National Monument Service there is a motte (12th century) and a castle (hall house - 15th century) beside it. There are substantial remains of the castle. So this part does not need a proper citation but a correction. As I have no longer any interest in the English Wikipedia someone else can correct the entry.--Wanfried-Dublin (talk) 08:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
