A recently published list names 70 clergy members who were named as abusers in the Ferns, Ryan, Murphy, and Cloyne reports.
BishopAcountability.org referenced media sources and Irish State reports in order to publish the names – however, the list of 70 people represents “only about 6%” of the total number accused of sexual abuse.
The list is the first time Irish priests have been named and shamed in public. BishopAccountability has already published three databases profiling convicted abusers in Argentina, Chile, and the US.
