EMBATTLED Bishop of Limerick, Donal Murray was last year linked to a controversial attempt by a Church body to prevent the publication of the damning Cloyne report into clerical sex abuse.

THE diocese of Cloyne has agreed to boost its child protection measures after the Health Service Executive’s (HSE’s) audit into Catholic Church dioceses found that standards in the diocese lagged behind existing national guidelines.

THE advisory committee which tried to prevent the publication of a damning report into alleged child sex abuse in the diocese of Cloyne was appointed by, and is answerable to, Bishop of Cloyne John Magee.
