Church guilty of injustice to accused priests
Nuala O’Loan, Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland, told a conference that innocent clerics were being tarred with the same brush as abusers. And she insisted accused priests were left with a cloud of suspicion hanging over them for the rest of their lives.
“Effectively he (a priest) is condemned immediately in the eyes of the public. If a criminal investigation finds nothing - what happens?” she asked.
