D'Arcy: Government must avoid 'megaphone diplomacy' on confessional issue

The Government is being urged to avoid the use of "megaphone diplomacy" when it comes to the issue of the confessional.

In the wake of the Cloyne report on the handling of clerical child abuse allegations, Justice Minister Alan Shatter is calling for legislation to make it mandatory to report crimes, regardless of any internal rules of a religion.
