Biography Login to edit
was an Irish Roman Catholic prelate who served as bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh in Ireland from 1976 to 1992. Casey was born on 24 April 1927 in County Kerry. He was educated in Limerick and in St Patrick's College, Maynooth. Casey was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Limerick on 17 June 1951 and appointed Bishop of Kerry on 17 July 1969.
He held this position until 1976, when he was appointed Bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh and apostolic administrator of Kilfenora. While in Galway, Casey was seen as a progressive. It was a significant change in a diocese that had been led for nearly forty years by the very conservative Michael Browne (Bishop from 1937 to 1976).
Casey was highly influential in the Irish Catholic hierarchy, and served as bishop until his resignation in 1992. He was a friend and colleague of another highly prominent Irish priest, Father Michael Cleary.
