Wollongong’s Catholic Bishop Peter Ingham has again offered his apology to victims of clergy abuse in the Illawarra and says he’s fully complying with requests from the royal commission.

A meeting of 120 clergy, school principals and catholic care staff was held in Wollongong this week to bring them up to date about the royal commission process.

Bishop Peter Ingham says he’s been asked to supply all documents about child sex abuse in the Illawarra from 1975 to now.

He says a large amount of material has been handed over which includes details of complaints against clergy and how the investigations were handled.
