The Minister said “The Inquiry has examined the handling of over 100 allegations of child sexual abuse against Roman Catholic priests in the Diocese of Ferns over the period 1966 to 2002. It is clear from the report that effective action was not taken to protect vulnerable children over a period of many years. We must learn from the mistakes of the past. In addition to increasing public awareness and understanding of the horror of child sexual abuse, this report provides practical and far reaching recommendations to strengthen child protection practices in organisations working with children and to ensure a speedy and effective response to reports of abuse.
