The Rt. Reverend Monsignor Kieron J. Kennedy

Since October 2018 the Diocese of Ossory has lost three priests : Fr. Nicholas Flavin, Fr. Pat O'Farrell, Monsignor Kieron Kennedy and our former Bishop Seamus Freeman. They all did wonderful work in our Diocese. May they rest in peace.

I am very sorry to learn yesterday of the death of Msgr Kieron Kennedy. I wish to offer my sincere condolences to his family, friends and the priests of the Diocese of Ossory, served by Bishop Niall Coll. All of us in the Diocese of Ossory are served by a most hard working and dedicated group of priests of which he was a prime example and who together help so many of us. May he rest in peace.

The Monsignor will be sadly missed in Freshford. Sincere condolences to all his family. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all deeply affected by the passing of Mgr. Kieron. Never afraid of making difficult decisions. A good man. A great support to Bishop Freeman during their time at St Mary's Cathedral. How fitting it was for him to return to the Cathedral before being laid to rest having beautifully restored the Cathedral. A great legacy to leave along with his great work for the marginalised.
