	Church Considers Compensation Rise Press Association October 7, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5jOpZBgZNsIyZ1zky1KI2Cc_zTR0A Senior Catholic clerics are to consider increasing compensation for victims of abuse in church-run institutions. Cardinal Sean Brady revealed a committee would be set up to look at offering further redress to victims who suffered at the hands of nuns and priests in industrial schools and orphanages. The head of the Church in Ireland spoke out after four campaigners addressed the Bishops' Conference in Maynooth over the Ryan Report, which revealed widespread physical and sexual abuse. They also appealed to the Church to make a financial contribution to a redress scheme for victims - currently being funded by the religious congregations criticised in the report.
