During the funeral mass for Dr. Walsh at St Peter and Paul Cathedral, Bishop Fintan Monahan praised him as a radical who challenged accepted beliefs while remaining rooted in the core of the Gospel. Walsh was recognized for stirring up discussions with honesty and integrity. His pastoral work showed kindness toward marginalized communities, including the Travelling community and abuse survivors. Dr. Walsh served as the Bishop of Killaloe from 1994 to 2011 and died suddenly shortly after his 90th birthday, leaving behind a profound legacy of genuine Christian values.
Willie was a radical in the true sense of the word...challenged unquestioned beliefs, measuring them against what he believed was the core of the Gospel.
Being frequently outspoken, he stirred things up...with raw honesty, integrity, conviction, and belief that questioning was a legitimate response to arriving at the divinely revealed truth.
Bishop Willie was a profound and effective crusader, winning people over to genuine Christian values through kindness, understanding, and generosity.
He did this through his unstinting work with the Travelling community, his pastoral outreach to survivors of abuse, the sick, and vulnerable.
