The Catholic primate of all-Ireland has said that he will not resign as Church leader despite revelations in the BBC’s This World show.
It found Cardinal Sean Brady had names and addresses of those being abused by paedophile priest Brendan Smyth.
However, he did not pass on those details to police or parents.
Cardinal Brady said he accepted he was part of “an unhelpful culture of deference and silence in society, and the Church”.
