13° Dublin Hi 13°C / Lo 6°C

Publication will point the way forward -- Martin

Thursday October 22 2009

THE long-awaited report into clerical child sex abuse will be a painful reflection on society, the Archbishop of Dublin warned yesterday.

Dr Diarmuid Martin said the report on the Dublin diocese, the publication of which has been delayed, would also help point the way forward for dealing with paedophilia.

The archbishop said he did not know when the report would be released, but added: "It's very interesting, this question was brought to the courts on September 8 and we are now six weeks on.

"It just goes to show that there is a very difficult balance that needs to be attained. My hope is, and I've said this on many occasions, the sooner the report comes out the better."
