Cloyne abuse reports - The truth will out

JUNIOR Minister Barry Andrews continued hisdelay-and-divide charade on reports relating to child sexual abuse allegations in Cloyne yesterday.

At this stage it is more and more difficult to believe that a shameful cover-up is not under way.

Mr Andrews was given a report by the Catholic Church’s National Board for the Safeguarding of Children (NBSC) chief executive Ian Elliott last July. The minister has not confirmed that he has read it, but has said he has no plans to publish it.
