‘Shocking failures’ by gardaí condemned

PAEDOPHILE priests were allowed escape justice through the inaction and connivance of gardaí, the Murphy Report has found.

While commending many gardaí, the Dublin Archdiocese Commission report reveals shocking failings by gardaí at all ranks, up to and including commissioner.

It is not yet clear if action can or will be taken against any gardaí. Senior officers named in the report have long left the force.
