Allegations have been made against 26 priests in the diocese of Limerick, 14 of whom have since died, an audit has found.
Eight priests who faced allegations are out of ministry or left the priesthood, but no clerics have been convicted of an offence since 1975.
Some 34 complaints of child abuse were received by gardaí and 41 by health authorities, the report said.
Overall, Limerick was found to have met 44 of the 48 criteria for safeguarding children in the church.
