Charity slams inaction on paedophile ring

The Gardaí were today criticised for failing to act on a warning that two people in the country were linked to a 2,300-strong worldwide paedophile ring.

Leading children’s charity Barnardos said it was concerned that the computer users, who are alleged to have looked at disturbing videos and pictures of young children being abused, would be aware a garda investigation is now under way.
