IRELAND
BBC News
Brendan Boland, one of the victims of paedophile priest Father Brendan Smyth, has said his healing and that of other victims cannot begin while Cardinal Sean Brady remains as Catholic Primate of all-Ireland.
He was responding to a public apology made by Dr Brady.
In it, the cardinal admitted he should have passed on information to parents given to him in 1975 by Mr Boland.
That information warned Fr Smyth was a danger to other children.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Mr Boland thanked the cardinal for the apology and said that one day he hoped to find the strength to accept his offer of a face-to-face meeting.
