why isn't this new vatican scandal being reported on rte.ie

just saw the latest vatican scandal, nothing surprising by the way as we knew the vatican always harboured pedophiles, from the huffington post and perez hilton e.g. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/18/vatican-irish-bishops_n_810535.html…

I'm puzzled that i'm only finding out this from foreign websites as it concerns irish church abuse, i checked rte.ie and there's nothing about this letter. Did i miss it a couple of days ago or what??

Yes.

Was disclosed in an RTE doc shown on Monday according to the IT (didn't see it myself).

Am closing this so you can discuss in the sticky thread if you wish.

FYI, the RTE documentary which (I believe) introduced the world to this new Vatican letter is still available to view here:
