Bray native Marie Kane met Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday where they discussed her abuse.
Marie (43), who now lives in Carlow, was one of a group of six victims to meet the pope.
She asked him to allow priests marry and sack bishops who do not act on abuse in their diocese.
She said that the meeting was a very positive experience and a huge vindication for her, according to the Irish Independent.
‘I am 11 years trying to get justice in some shape or form and it hasn’t happened,’ she told the newspaper, adding that the Pope ‘seemed genuinely sorry.’
She reported that he listened intently to what she had to say, at times seeming frustrated by what he was hearing.
