Survivor Marie Kane told the Pontiff that nothing will change until those who were involved in “cover-ups” are removed
An Irish clerical abuse victim who met the Pope yesterday pleaded with him to sack Cardinal Sean Brady.
Marie Kane, 43, personally asked Pope Francis to dismiss the Primate of All Ireland for failing to protect children from paedophile monster Brendan Smyth.
The Pope met six clerical sex abuse victims, including Ms Kane and Marie Collins, in the Vatican to express his sorrow and ask for forgiveness.
But Carlow-based Marie Kane said that nothing will change until those who were involved in “cover-ups” in this country are removed.
She said: “It’s a big thing with me that there are still members of the hierarchy there who were involved in the cover-up.
“Until people like (Cardinal) Sean Brady are gone I will never believe there is change.”
