Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Irish Roman Catholic Bishop Jim Moriarty offered to resign after a report into how church authorities handled allegations of child abuse by members of the clergy.

"I know that any action now on my part does not take away the suffering that people have endured," Moriarty said in a statement today. "I again apologize to all the survivors and their families."
