Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny

The Vatican and the Irish state are at loggerheads in the aftermath of the shocking report into child abuse in the Cork diocese of Cloyne.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has branded the Vatican’s approach to clerical abuse enquiries as a ‘disgrace’.

Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has warned the Pope’s representative in Ireland, Papal Nuncio Archbishop Giuseppe Leanza, that he expects a swift response to questions raised by the official enquiry.

Fine Gael chairman Charlie Flanagan, a senior member of the government coalition, has demanded that the Papal Nuncio be expelled from Ireland in the wake of the Cloyne report.

And Fianna Fail leader Michael Martin has warned that the Bishop of Cloyne, Dr John Magee, should not be excluded from the threat of jail if prosecutions follow in relation to incidents outlined in the report.
