In Profile - Bishop Emeritus Willie Walsh

This week, in light of the sad passing of the Bishop Emeritus of Killaloe, Willie Walsh last Wednesday at the age of 90, we have decided to offer another opportunity to hear Alan Morrissey's In Profile conversation with Willie. Alan sat down with Willie in May 2023 to hear his fascinating story. They spoke about how he became a priest and his 16-year tenure as Bishop of Killaloe, as well as touching on his time as both a student and teacher at St Flannan’s College. Being from Tipperary, Willie was passionate about hurling, and he recalled his success leading both St Flannan’s and Éire Óg to silverware, along with his role as a selector with Clare. May he rest in peace
