One in Four calls for prosecutions to follow sex-abuse report

An abuse-victims support group is calling for a criminal investigation into all those who "colluded and conspired to protect the Catholic Church" from sex-abuse allegations in the Dublin Archdiocese.

One in Four has said the actions of the Gardaí and health boards as detailed in the Murphy report into clerical sex abuse, which was published today, were "particularly shocking".

Executive Director of One in Four Maeve Lewis said: "I believe criminal investigations should be launched against all the people, not just within the Church, but within civil society too, who were so negligent…Children were abused when they knew what was happening."
