New 'shock' report into Irish church sex abuse 7/21/09 DUBLIN (AFP) -
A shocking new report has identified hundreds of victims of child sex
abuse by Irish Catholic priests, officials said Tuesday, two months
after a landmark study found "endemic" mistreatment. A government-
appointed commission of investigation headed by a judge has been
probing allegations of abuse by priests in the archdiocese of Dublin
-- the country's biggest -- since March 2006....It is the first time
the state has investigated how the once-powerful Church in mainly
Catholic Ireland has run its affairs. It probed whether the Church
reported abuse allegations or attempted to "obstruct, prevent or
interfere with the proper investigation" of complaints. A spokeswoman
for the archdiocese said the Church authorities had identified between
400 and 450 people that allege they were abused by one of 152 Dublin
priests since 1940. "I would like to stress that that is a very
conservative estimate and is likely to rise," she told AFP....In May
Ireland was rocked by a landmark report that concluded sexual,
physical and emotional abuse was "endemic" in Church-run industrial
and reformatory schools, orphanages and other childcare institutions
dating back to the 1930s. Prime Minister Brian Cowen said it contained
a "shattering litany of abuse of children in care in this country over
many decades."
