A Vatican report which was ordered in the wake of the Murphy and Ryan reports into clerical child sex abuse is to be published this morning.

The inquiry was carried out by the Apostolic Visitation to Ireland.

It involved teams visiting all 4 Catholic archdioceses, seminaries and religious congregations.

The Irish bishops will give their reaction to the findings at a press conference in Maynooth later this morning.
