DAVID JOYCE,
Madam, - I am pleased that Cardinal Connell has "agreed to give gardai access to the diocesan files concerning complaints of child sexual abuse against diocesan priests".
However, this begs the question as to what is meant by "complaints". Does it, for instance, mean all allegations against priests, all expressions of concern, or simply "formal complaints" as defined by the Cardinal? Perhaps the Church could let the public know.¨ - Yours, etc.,
DAVID JOYCE, Seabury Parade, Malahide, Co Dublin.
