William Delany (bishop)

William Delany (Latin: Gulielmus Delany; 25 December 1804, Bandon, County Cork – 14 November 1886, Cork) was an Irish Roman Catholic bishop.

[2] He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity (DD).

Later he was parish priest in his home town of Bandon until his episcopal appointment.

[5] These priests, John O'Mahony and Denis McCarthy, were reputedly transferred "from a Cork city parish to rural parishes" for their perceived support of Charles Stewart Parnell and the Land League.
