Watchdog to probe Garda handling of Cloyne cases
The Cloyne report strongly criticised the role of gardaí in three cases highlighted in the Murphy report, including one where it concluded that no investigation had been conducted into a complaint, despite the insistence of a senior garda that an investigation had taken place.
The case is covered in chapter 10 of the report of the Commission of Investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne, published last July. The chapter details how Garda and Church authorities dealt with two complaints of alleged child sexual abuse against a priest, referred to as Fr Corin in the report.
