After a day of in-camera evidence, the inquiry into child sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in the New South Wales Hunter Valley will resume its public hearings this morning.

Senior policeman Peter Fox is still giving evidence to the Special Commission’s second terms of reference.

The inquiry is investigating his claims that senior church officials did not cooperate with police who were investigating two paedophile priests, Father Denis McAlinden and Father James Fletcher.

The inquiry went into a private session yesterday but will resume its public hearings this morning, with the cross examination of Peter Fox expected to wrap up today.
