Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh, has said he is ‘truly sorry’ for the abuse suffered by children in the Catholic Church.
The Fourth Tranche of the Reviews of Safeguarding practice across the Catholic Church brings the total authorities reviewed to date to 27.
“In the majority of cases the progress that has been made has been heartening,” said Teresa Devlin, Acting CEO of the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI).
“However, this was not universally the case and we have undertaken to work closely with those that have not met the required standards to ensure that children are properly safeguarded.”
She went on to outline how the completion of 27 audit reports meant that a significant portion of the work to be done had now been completed.
