Irish Examiner journalist wins award for series on diocesan abuse scandal
Claire was shortlisted for the award for a series of exclusive news stories and thought-provoking commentary and analysis pieces which helped lift the lid on the scandal of clerical abuse in the Diocese of Cloyne.
She was the driving force behind a sustained Irish Examiner campaign which forced the Government to publish the much delayed report into clerical abuse and eventually forced Bishop John Magee to step aside.
