Most of the priests examined in the Murphy report into clerical abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese are still alive.

Many of them are being financially supported by the Church and some are living in parishes without restrictions.

Of the 46 priests, 11 were or are from religious orders. Four of those 11 are dead, four are in their orders living without restrictions, two are in their orders living with restrictions and one is estranged from his order and living without restrictions in another diocese outside Dublin.

Of the 46, 11 have been convicted of abuse, while one was found to have had a false allegation made against him.

Of the 20 Dublin priests out of ministry, nine have left the Church while 11 are still fully financially supported by the Dublin Archdiocese.
