CLERGY in the Cloyne diocese are now “enthusiastically” pursuing child safeguarding measures, according to the national watchdog responsible for monitoring new child safety policies in the Church.

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.

Bishop of Cloyne Dr John Magee was travelling to Maynooth today for talks over the handling of child sex abuse allegations.
