Controversy over priest's comments
The Bishop of Ossory has apologised following comments made a priest in Co Kilkenny who said the only way to deal with gay people is to "shoot them in the brain".
Brother Tom Forde made the comments at the Capuchin friary on Saturday.
Speaking from the altar he said, "once you are bitten you are infected and there is no hope."
Bishop Dermot Farrell says he was saddened to learn of the inappropriate language used.
Amnesty International Ireland is insisting gardaí must fully investigate the comments, if a complaint is made.
