The Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin has spent more than 15m euros in settling child abuse claims.
The figure, which includes 5m euros in legal fees, is in the diocese’s annual child protection report.
Just over a third of complaints against priests were made in the 1980s, according to the report.
It also said the 10 worst clerical abusers in the archdiocese are alleged to have abused an average of 36 children each.
