A complaint against Fr Omikron, who died in 1968, came before the diocese in March 2000 when a woman named Jenny wrote to Bishop Comiskey and said she had been abused by him.
She said that the priest had been asked to take photos of her to be sent on to her doctor but she had been naked during the pictures. She said that later a medical practitioner took photos of her but did not require her to be naked.
The bishop forwarded her complaint to Fr William Cosgrave, diocesan delegate, and wrote to the woman offering to contribute towards her counselling costs and to meet her. He paid €4,000 towards the counselling costs when a sum of €4,400 was sought.
The woman regarded the bishop's response as inadequate. Bishop Comiskey said that he was disappointed with her reaction and that he had a difficulty when asked to apologise for the acts and omissions of other people.
Bishop Eamonn Walsh received a letter from the woman in August 2002 regarding outstanding monies owed to her by the diocese.
He replied in September enclosing the outstanding sum and apologising for the abuse she had suffered.
