Taoiseach Enda Kenny has met Pope Benedict for the first time since he attacked the Vatican’s record on clerical child sex abuse in a Dáil speech last year.

Mr Kenny was part of a delegation of centre-right politicians who visited to the pontiff’s summer residence near Rome.

The Taoiseach declined to comment on the meeting following the short encounter.

He is in Rome as part of a two-day meeting of the Centrist Democrats International group hosted by the Italian leader, Mario Monti.
