	"Minimal Action" over Abuse Claims Press Association December 19, 2008 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5jqR1PMLmwSzgRQnGxpXlYhoK2xzA A senior Irish Catholic Bishop took minimal action over a series of child sex abuse allegations against two of his priests, a damning report has found. The investigation by the church's abuse watchdog also concluded that what little action was taken by Bishop of Cloyne John Magee was inappropriately delayed and responses were inadequate and dangerous. The allegations - branded alarming by the National Board for Safeguarding Children (NBSC) - centre on two priests within the Co Cork diocese. In a stark conclusion, the report states: "Put simply, the responses of the Diocese could be described as ill-advised, and too little, too late." A spokesman for the Bishop, who apologised to clerical sex abuse victims, said he had no plans to resign over the report's revelations.
