KILLALOE DIOCESE HAS been praised for its “great effort” to minimise risks to children.

The praise came in the latest report from the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) in its fifth tranche of reviews on child safeguarding in a number of dioceses.

The review covers the Arch Diocese of Dublin, the Diocese of Meath, Cloyne and Killaloe. It also reviews the religious congregations of the Presentation Brothers, the Patrician Brothers, Benedictine, Glenstal and the Missionary Societies of the Columban Missionaries and the Society of Divine Word.

The report into Killaloe found that 44 out of 48 criteria have been fully met. The remaining four were partially met at the time of the audit.
