Mon 12 Dec 2009Jail is penalty for concealing child sex abuse
OPINION:AS PART of an RTÉ news report on the continuing fallout from the Dublin archdiocesan commission more commonly known as the Murphy report, an elderly man was approached as he left a church and when asked to comment on the report simply replied “they should all be locked up” as he gestured towards the church.
I’m not entirely sure who he had in mind but from the context of the report and the question put to him I imagine he was referring to those responsible for the dreadful abuse perpetrated on young children of the archdiocese or their superiors for covering up.
