Dr Tomas Farthing, Bishop of Cork, pt 2

As always, he's cagey...

There's no reference to him, at all, on the Diocese of Cork and Ross (RC) Web site. Their Diocesan Secretary is Fr. Teddy O'Sullivan.

He can be contacted at:
Cork and Ross Offices, Redemption Road, Cork.
Telephone (021) 4301717; Fax (021) 4301557.

There's also no parish named Ballinspittle listed on the site. There is, however, a parish named Courceys, which has two churches, one of which is Holy Trinity Church, Ballinspittle.

Found a Web site that had a picture of the statue in a grotto.

Other Web sites with info on Ballinspittle/the statue:

Reliquary of Miraculous Images of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Moving Statue of Mary in Ballinspittal (from the Cork Free Presbyterian Church...)
