	Pope Briefed on Ryan Probe Fallout The Press Association June 5, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5j-os4AlUqmCP1SRT6ZgHzlg96qdw Ireland's two top clergymen will meet Pope Benedict to discuss the fallout from a devastating inquiry that found widespread child abuse in Catholic church-run institutions. Cardinal Sean Brady and Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin have travelled to Rome to update the Holy See on a number of issues regarding the Irish Church, including the impact of the Ryan report. The meeting will take place just a day after religious orders agreed to pay substantial funds into a dedicated trust in a belated attempt to make amends to thousands of victims of abusive priests and nuns. The Ryan report documented evidence of abuse from more than 1,000 pupils of orphanages, industrial schools and reformatory schools and catalogued decades of sexual, physical and emotional torture of youngsters in church and state care over a 70-year period.
