Court clears way for publication of majority of abuse report

The High Court has today ordered that one chapter referring to one person in the Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation report should not be published.

The ruling means the Government can go ahead and publish the remainder of the report, which comes on the back of an investigation into how clerical child sex abuse allegations involving a sample of 46 priests were handled by the Catholic Church between 1975 and 2004.
