IRELAND
Irish Mirror
A paedophile priest who admitted abusing more than 100 children was allowed unfettered access to youngsters for more than two years after allegations were first made against him.
The filthy cleric, who served in Ireland, England, Australia and Rome, abused children up until at least 2004 despite his seniors being warned about him in 2002, the Catholic Church’s own watchdog has found.
After one of his own relatives came forward to say she was molested, the priest’s senior moved him on from his Dublin parish without telling then Archbishop Desmond Connell the “real reason” for his move.
The then provincial of The Salvatorians congregation also failed to notify police, health chiefs and parishioners about the allegations – despite being duty-bound to under guidelines issued eight years previously.
