Child abuse report - Horrors that must never be repeated

IT is not vain to suggest that resilience is a characteristic of the Irish. How else would we have survived the economic, political and social travails that shaped our history and will define our future?

Today that resilience is required if we are not to allow a combination of floods, recession and delusion overwhelm us and destroy the considerable progress we have made over the last few decades.

That resilience will be needed too when we consider, as we must, the Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation report into the satanic abuse of children by priests of that diocese.
