UK authorities cited for lack of details on convicted priests
The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church (NBSCCC) criticised the British dioceses for not being sufficiently “forthcoming” with information on the convicted clerics, meaning there was “a lack of awareness of potential risk”.
The diocese’s child protection director, Cleo Yates admitted “we may not have got full and adequate information” from the British authorities on how the priests were being monitored in Ireland. She also admitted the “UK authorities haven’t taken up the offer that we would help with their monitoring”.
