Martin to quiz Papal Nuncio over abuse inquiry

FOREIGN Affairs Minister Micheál Martin is to meet with the Papal Nuncio to Ireland to discuss the Vatican’s failure to supply information to the Dublin archdiocese abuse inquiry.

It follows a meeting between the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Giuseppe Leanza, and the secretary general of Mr Martin’s department on Wednesday.

In a statement last night, the department said the Papal Nuncio had “called at his own request” on the secretary-general, David Cooney.
