Don't talk to me like that you big pile of shite.

John: “At least that’s a pair between us”

I think this makes Patrick Duggan the oldest living Father Ted priest then? Assuming he is still alive: the fact there is another actor out there called Patrick Duggan (as well as it being Patrick Malahide's real name) makes definitive proof a little hard to find, but he was still up and about three years ago:

So the oldest living priest now is Sean Barrett, who played Father Fitzgerald - the priest with the boring voice - in the Christmas episode. Was also the cover model for The Smiths' How Soon Is Now single.

It doesn't seem to mention any TV appearances.  Film, theatre, and comedy videos but not TV.
