	Details Sought on Ireland, US Clergy Abuse Cases By Bob Salsberg Associated Press Writer December 28, 2009 http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/statenewengland/503233-227/details-sought-on-ireland-us-clergy-abuse.html BOSTON (AP) — U.S. victims of clergy sex abuse and a group that tracks pedophile priests are calling on local Roman Catholic leaders and the Irish government to publicly detail known connections between the clergy abuse scandals in the U.S. and Ireland. Four bishops in Ireland have resigned since a government report in November revealed how Dublin church leaders had shielded pedophile priests from the law. BishopAccountability.org said Monday it has created the first database of accused Irish priests who worked in the U.S. The group has asked Boston's Cardinal Sean O'Malley and Providence, R.I., Bishop Thomas Tobin to reveal any priests accused of sexual abuse after moving from Ireland. The group has also asked Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen for a list of accused Irish priests transferred to U.S. dioceses.
