Dublin Judge Oks Report on Catholic Child Abuse Boston Herald October 15, 2009 http://www.bostonherald.com/news/international/europe/view/20091015dublin_judge_oks_report_on_catholic_child_abuse/srvc=home&position=recent DUBLIN — A Dublin judge says a new report into three decades of child abuse covered up by the Roman Catholic Church can be published once the government removes one legally sensitive chapter. High Court Justice Paul Gilligan ruled Thursday that the report into hundreds of abuse cases in Dublin from 1975 to 2004 can be published except for one chapter on current criminal cases. He said that chapter could be published after those cases conclude. Ireland’s Justice Department and Attorney General Paul Gallagher had requested a High Court ruling on the report’s legal pitfalls before making it public. The government has not specified a publication date. Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has already warned parishioners the report’s contents "will shock us all." |
