Irish TV looks into abuse by Dublin clergy
Ireland is still reeling, trying to cope with the disclosures of the Ryan Commission's 2,600-page report detailing a government investigation into the physical and sexual abuse of children in church-run schools and orphanages.
Yet to come this summer is a report on investigation into sexual abuse of minors by clergy of the Dublin archdiocese. Details are slowly coming out: 60,000 documents reviewed, hundreds of children abused, 152 priests accused but only a small friction were ever prosecuted.
Ireland's TV 3 aired an hour-long program Tuesday night into the investigation. The program, Abuse of Trust: The Sins of Our Fathers [1]," can be viewed on line along with several extended interviews of victims and religious superiors.
Hat tip for this to Kathy Shaw, who keeps the Abuse Tracker [2] up to date over at www.bishop-accountability.org.
