The Pope's accepted the resignation of former Bishop Charles Drennan - who admitted to inappropriate, but not illegal, sexual behaviour with a teenage girl.
Cardinal Dew's been appointed administrator of the diocese until a replacement's found.
The behaviour complained about happened eight years ago when Bishop Drennan was a priest - but the same year he was appointed a bishop.
