Body cites resource issues for delays in bringing in new measures to investigate child sexual abuse

A Government-appointed body has cited resource issues for delays in implementing key Garda Inspectorate recommendations regarding the investigation of child sexual abuse.

The high-level committee also said that one of the main Inspectorate recommendations, initially made in 2012, for regional specialist centres to provide all therapeutic and investigative services to child victims of sexual abuse could take up to five years to roll out.
