The Papal Legate to the 50th International Eucharistic Congress has met a group of survivors of clerical child abuse in Ireland.
The two hour meeting took place during a pilgrimage to Lough Derg by Cardinal Marc Ouellet.
Each survivor told the legate about the abuse they suffered and its impact on their lives.
The group included men and women from across Ireland.
Cardinal Ouellet undertook the penitential pilgrimage on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI as a public expression of penance and repentance for the abuse of children by clerics in the Irish and universal Catholic church.
