St John Ambulance failed to investigate predatory and abusive behaviour, review finds

The 230-page report includes accounts of predatory and abusive behaviour in St John Ambulance, dating as far back as the early 1970s.

An investigation into the governance of sexual abuse at St John Ambulance service has found serious lapses in the organisation's Garda vetting system, with poor child protection measures in place.

The report, carried out by former child protection rapporteur Dr Geoffrey Shannon, will be shared with abuse survivors on Thursday.
