Archbishop accuses bishops of ‘hiding’ unpublished reports

THE Archbishop of Dublin has accused bishops of “hiding” unpublished child abuse reports rather than making them public.

Referring to three such reports, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said there was no point having documents “that were not published”.

“If the bishop feels he is being treated unjustly, publish it and then say this is unjust,” he said. “But hiding isn’t helping.”
