Child abuse allegations were made against 325 members of one religious order on the island of Ireland since 1975, but only 12 were convicted.
The Christian Brothers is a Catholic order set up to provide education and to help the poor. It ran more than 100 schools across the island of Ireland.
A Catholic Church child protection watchdog has published an audit of the order’s handling of abuse allegations.
Fifty of those accused are still alive and are current members of the order.
