The Catholic Church's move to share all information on the possible abuse of children with the PSNI has been welcomed by the government.
A director of child protection is to be appointed for the church in NI.

Catholic Primate Sean Brady has announced a series of measures in response to the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults Order.

NIO minister Shaun Woodward said he applauded the moves by the Archbishop and his fellow bishops.
