The Bishop of Elphin has said he had no idea of the abuse that was taking place within the Catholic Church.

Bishop Christy Jones was speaking following the meeting of bishops with the Pope in Rome this week over revelations of child sexual abuse detailed in both the Murphy and Ryan reports.

There has been much criticism by survivors of abuse of the inaction by Bishops and the Catholic Church in dealing with the issue.

Bishop Jones said he is not sure if he were Bishop at the time if he would know how to deal with the situation as he was never aware such abuse could happen.
