BISHOP DUFFY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LATE CANON BRIAN McCLUSKEY, PE, ROSLEA.

Bishop Larry Duffy of the Diocese of Clogher paid tribute to Canon Brian McCluskey following his death in Belfast on Sunday, October 25. Canon McCluskey was a priest of the diocese and the retired parish priest of Roslea.

A native of Blackstaff in the parish of Inniskeen, Co. Monaghan, McCluskey was ordained at the Lateran Archbasilica in Rome on March 12, 1960. He served in several parishes throughout his ministry, including Killeevan, Aghalurcher, Clones, and his native Inniskeen.

Bishop Duffy noted McCluskey's long years of service and his readiness to minister wherever needed. McCluskey came from a family of eight children, six of whom entered religious life or the priesthood.
