Lack of child protection measures wrong and unfair

WHILE there was no allegation of child sexual abuse made against Fr Naal, or evidence to support such an allegation, the commission said the failure to carry out a proper inquiry was wrong from a child protection point of view.

A married couple wrote to Bishop Magee in August 2005 to express concerns about his involvement with children .

The commission said there was no record in the diocesan files of any response to their letter, and no action seemed to have been taken by the bishop.
