IRELAND’S CATHOLIC bishops meet today for the first time since publication of the Murphy report as Cardinal Seán Brady and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin prepare for a meeting with Pope Benedict on Friday to discuss how the Catholic Church should deal with the damage caused to it by the child abuse scandal.
