The Apostolic Visitation to Ireland says “excellent” efforts are being made by the clergy to implement and improve child protection measures.

However it also stresses that the Church should continue to examine and update the protection guidelines in place and to continue to provide support to clerical child sex abuse victims.

A summary of the findings of the 7 Visitations last year has been published by the Vatican but the full reports will not be released.

They were ordered by Pope Benedict XVI.
