	No Decision on Publishing of Report The Press Association August 3, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5j1B4f98qtGKRsJKot1BcyMJ4ROdg A decision on whether the latest report into child abuse in the Catholic Church can be published will not be taken for at least another month, it was confirmed. Justice Minister Dermot Ahern asked the High Court to decide if full disclosure of the Government-ordered inquiry into the Dublin Archdiocese could prejudice future prosecutions. The Courts Service said the case will come before the High Court on September 8. The Dublin Archdiocese report into allegations against a sample 46 priests has been completed but criminal proceedings against three of them have yet to be finalised. Under the law the minister must seek directions from the court if there are concerns about the impact of publishing findings ahead of any legal proceedings.
