The country's largest diocese continues to anxiously await the explosive findings of a State investigation into paedophile clergy.


The High Court is due to make a direction on what contents of the Dublin Diocese Commission report the Government can make public.

The High Court last month ruled that the bulk of the report could be published, but it directed that a section relating to a former cleric who faces new criminal charges should be withheld until his trial early next year.

Abuse survivor Marie Collins said the waiting takes its toll.

Ms Collins said: "It's 15 years since my abuser was convicted.

"The years leading up to getting the report - the investigation put in place - were hugely stressful because of not being believed, of all the other things around actually tackling something like an institution as large as the Church".

"Now we've come to the point where we're waiting for the truth to come out."
