Ireland's most notorious John Paul II pedophile priest

Here is one if not the most notorious John Paul II Pedophile Priest Army member who raped boys in the 1970's and the 1980's when John Paul II was a new pope, in the first decades of his 26+ papacy where he did nothing to protect children from pedophile priests. John Paul II was obsessed with his legacy as John Paul II THE GREAT and therefore he swept under the Vatican carpet all pedophile priests. As long as these priests were reincarnating the flesh and blood of Christ in the sorcery of the Eucharist, they remained "holy priests" in the papal eyes HOLY SEE of John Paul II and Cardinal Josef Ratzinger who was the second most powerful man at the Vatican.

Ireland's most notorious John Paul II Pedophile Priest

Cruel crimes of the singing priest

Tony Walsh’s abuse of one boy from 1978 to 1983 was so extreme that he was sentenced this week to a total of 123 years. On Wednesday the High Court is expected to release an unpublished Murphy report chapter dealing with Walsh. It contains shocking material

THE EXTENT OF Tony Walsh’s abuse of one young boy over the five years from 1978 to 1983, when the child, “David”, was aged between seven and 12, can be gleaned from the sentences imposed by Judge Frank O’Donnell in the Circuit Criminal Court last Monday: a total of 123 years.

Five of the 13 counts, for buggery, attracted sentences of 10, 12, 14, 16 and 16 years each. The remaining counts, for indecent assault, brought sentences ranging from four to nine years. As Walsh is to serve his sentences concurrently, 16 years is the maximum time he will spend in jail. It is the most severe sentence ever imposed on a clerical child sex abuser in the State. (Four years were suspended, as a psychologist’s report said it was unlikely Walsh would offend again.) With good behaviour Walsh could be out of jail in 2019.

TONY Walsh was once a popular priest, a Fr Trendy of his time.

Gyrating during Elvis Presley imitations with the All Priests Show, the 56-year-old was a big hit in parishes in the Ballyfermot-Cherry Orchard area of Dublin.

But away from the stage act, he was one of the most notorious clerical sex abusers, who raped and sodomised dozens of young boys in the 1970s-1990s.

In 1992, with allegations against Walsh on the increase, Archbishop Desmond Connell set up a tribunal to investigate him which eventually recommended that he be defrocked.

But Connell kept its findings secret.



Missing chapter of child abuse must be published

ANALYSIS: The latest priest child rapist from the Dublin archdiocese was named yesterday, thanks to the persistence of his victims, writes MARY RAFTERY

THE BAD, the ugly and, somewhat surprisingly, the good – or at least what passed for good in the morally bankrupt culture of the Archdiocese of Dublin at the time – are all to be found in the tale of Tony Walsh, one of the most notorious of the city’s paedophile priests, convicted yesterday for his repeated rape of one small boy and his sexual assaults on two others during the 1970s and 1980s. He is the subject of the missing chapter 19 of the Murphy report, redacted so as to not prejudice the trial which concluded yesterday.

To glean some insight into the enormous damage done by this priest, it is worth remembering again what the victim called “David” had to say on the RTÉ Prime Time programme Cardinal Secrets in 2002:

“When I have a dream, I am basically being raped again and again and again and I could not under any circumstances overstress the word ‘raped’. I am being raped in my sleep. It mightn’t happen every night of the week but it happens at least two or three times a week and I just don’t sleep because I just, the minute I close my eyes and get back into the sleep I’m getting raped again so I stay awake and I . . . What they do, they give me drugs to put me to sleep, or I take a bottle of whiskey if I don’t want to go near the doctor.”



Victims reveal their suffering at the hands of 'singing priest'

FR TONY Walsh was best-known for his Elvis act as part of the All-Priests Show, a groin-thrusting, hip-shaking performance. It was good-humoured, light entertainment in the parish halls of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

But for three boys, whose childhoods were destroyed over three decades ago, it had the most horrible connotations.

Yesterday, former priest Tony Walsh (57) was jailed for 16 years for abusing three young altar boys in Ballyfermot, Dublin. One of the boys was repeatedly raped over several years between the age of seven and 12; and he indecently assaulted the two other boys.

Court to decide on Murphy report chapter

IRELAND
The Irish Times

PATSY McGARRY Religious Affairs Correspondent

THE HIGH Court will this morning consider publishing chapter 19 of the Murphy report following the jailing yesterday of former priest Tony Walsh for 16 years, four suspended, for the sexual abuse of three boys.

On October 15th, 2009, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan of the High Court ruled chapter 19, which deals with abuse by Tony Walsh, and 21 other references to him, should not be published pending the outcome of three court cases then pending.

The Murphy report investigated how clerical child sex abuse allegations involving 46 priests in Dublin’s Catholic archdiocese were handled by church and State authorities between 1975 and 2004. Chapters 19 and 20 of the report were withheld when it was published on November 26th, 2009, pending the outcome of proceedings involving Walsh and another man. Proceedings in the other case are ongoing.

Victim impact statements

“DAVID”

At the age of 12 – after five years of being molested and raped – David first realised what was happening to him was wrong.

An altar boy in Ballyfermot, David was just seven when he first met Tony Walsh. The cleric was well known as an Elvis impersonator and part of the All Priests Show.

Having ingratiated himself with David’s family, Walsh brought the boy back to the parochial home on a regular basis. He would play Elvis records for him or help him with homework. Then the abuse started.


Statement: Archbishop Diarmuid Martin

The Irish Times

Tony Walsh, a former priest of the Archdiocese of Dublin, was sentenced today for the grievous sexual abuse of three people when they were still only children. My first thoughts go to these victims and their families. I hope that the finality of the legal process will help bring them some sense of justice, of healing, of closure and hope for the future.

Tony Walsh, however, abused many more children, the numbers are truly shocking. For some of these he has already served sentence. He caused untold destruction in the lives of numerous children.

Today’s news will sadly have reignited the ordeal of many of his victims.



Victims of abuse praised by judge for bravery

A VICTIM of defrocked priest Tony Walsh yesterday described the life sentence he had imposed on him following years of sexual abuse when he was an altar boy.

Walsh, who received a 12-year jail term for abusing three boys, now in their 30s, sat impassively as one of his victims told the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin that he smoked crack cocaine and became a heroin addict as a direct result of being abused by Walsh.

Judge Frank O'Donnell described the now 38-year-old as an "absolute stalwart" after he read out a harrowing victim impact statement in which the victim disclosed that he had first tried to commit suicide at the age of 16.
