Campaigners call for more abuse investigations

THE Cloyne abuse revelations make it clear that further investigations into child sex assaults by priests must be extended to the rest of the country, campaigners have said.

Speaking after the publication of the Murphy Commission, One In Four executive director Maeve Lewis said the state needs to open investigations into dioceses in Limerick, Donegal and potentially Derry.

She said until the Cloyne findings were published she was unsure about whether such an extension of the inquiries was necessary.
