Doubt over publication date of Cloyne investigation report

UNCERTAINTY surrounds the date of publication of the Dublin Archdiocese investigation into clerical abuse in the Diocese of Cloyne.

A Department of Justice spokesman last night refused to be drawn on the matter, saying the Murphy Commission report would be published “in accordance with the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004.”

The report was handed to the department at the end of last year and it had been hoped that it would be published before Easter. However, this is no longer certain.
