A cardinal, several bishops and gardai face damning criticism over revelations a serial paedophile priest was free to abuse for 16 years.

A previously censored report revealed the Vatican wanted "Fr Filth" Tony Walsh sent to a monastery for 10 years, while Dublin's Catholic hierarchy wanted him ordered out of the church in the early 1990s.
