	Abuse Survivors Expected Too Much from Vatican Summit By Liam Cosgrove Longford Leader February 24, 2010 http://www.longfordleader.ie/news/Abuse-survivors-expected-too-much.6096747.jp A Co Longford clerical abuse survivor has described the furore surrounding the Pope's two-day Vatican summit with Irish Bishops last week as "part of the course" and questioned many support groups' growing clamour for a public apology. Jim Flood, who like hundreds of others endured decades of abuse at the hands of paedophile priests at industrial schools up and down the country, expressed his surprise at the uproar which has since been aimed at Pope Benedict XVI and senior Irish clerics upon their return home. A former attendee of Ferryhouse Industrial School on the outskirts of Clonmel for almost five years during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Mr Flood said other abuse survivors were simply expecting too much too soon from the Pontiff and his team of advisers.
