A Dublin diocesan priest who has self-published a book listing Catholic clergy in Dublin from 1900 to 2011 said he omitted priests convicted of child sexual abuse because he was concerned about data protection.

The names of notorious clerical abusers such as Ivan Payne, Tony Walsh, Patrick Hughes and Bill Carney, who died in the Midlands Prison last year, are missing from the book, entitled the Archbishops, Bishops and Priests Who Served in the Archdiocese of Dublin 1900 to 2011, compiled by J Anthony Gaughan.
