The Commission of Investigation into Dublin’s Catholic Archdiocese has concluded that there is “no doubt” that clerical child sexual abuse was covered up by the archdiocese and other Church authorities.
The commission’s report covers the period between January 1st 1975 and April 30th 2004. It said there cover-ups took place over much of this period.
In its report, published this afternoon, it has also found that “the structures and rules of the Catholic Church facilitated that cover-up.”
“the structures and rules of the Catholic Church facilitated that cover-up.â€
Not only that but also the structures and procedures of the constabulary facilitated that cover-up. A new day is dawning for the Irish.
