The Archbishop of Dublin says the new Pope will ‘very clearly’ address the child sex abuse scandal.

Diarmuid Martin says Pope Francis has a track-record of speaking out about the protection of children in his native Argentina.

Archbishop Martin was himself named as an acceptable candidate to lead the Church by the child abuse survivors network SNAP – because of his history of speaking out on the issue.

Meanwhile, Pope Francis will hold his opening Angelus today.
