Seven reports have been released today which exmained child protection services in 6 dioceses and one order
Galway, Waterford, Clogher, Ferns, Kilalla and Elphin as well as the Society of African Missions religious order have all been subject to the reviews.
Out of the 7, the report into the Diocese of Ferns, is severely critical of two former Bishops in the Diocese for their handling of child sexual abuse cases.
The report by the National Bord for Safeguarding Children shows 100 allegations of child sexual abuse were made in the diocese since 1975.
3 priests have been convicted of committing an offence against a child in that time.
