Concern for Everybody Except the Child.

With the release of the last chapter of the Murphy Report the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has come in for more criticism because of the role of its hierarchy in effectively covering up for the clerical abuse of children taking place on its watch.

The report revealed that three former archbishops of Dublin behaved abominably in their handling of a paedophile priest, who the Church spirited away to the US.

The Irish Independent reported the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin, as being scathing of 'the church's lack of concern for children abused by priests.' Dr Martin claimed that 'there was concern for everybody except the child.'
