A child safeguarding conference is to take place in the diocese of Kilmore, Co Cavan tonight, after a recommendation from the Church’s National Board for Safeguarding Children.
It arose out of a review of safeguarding practice in the diocese, where paedophile priest Brendan Smyth was based.
Fr Smyth continued working in the Kilmore diocese for several years after allegations of child abuse had been made against him.
A recent BBC documentary claimed information about alleged abuse had been passed on to church authorities, including Cardinal Seán Brady, then Fr Brady.
