VATICAN CITY
BBC News

The Vatican will publish a report this morning on the Catholic child abuse scandals in Ireland.

It was compiled following visits to Ireland by teams of Vatican-appointed foreign church leaders.

It will also look at the church’s dealings with survivors of abuse and current child protection policies.

The report was promised two years ago by Pope Benedict XVI in his letter to Catholics in Ireland.
