    Just wondering if there are plans for further reports into clerical sexual abuse?

    I was wondering if any of the reports deal with the clerical abuse in Connaught as yet?

    Probably not.

    Those scumbags got away with a lot but if it takes more reports to get rid of them out of this country then so be it.

    It doesnt though,many are actually protected for their coroporation of admitting abuse by having name changed in reports etc,a rape of child can carry an life sentence but the judges don't hand down them sentences because the prisons would be full of eldery men now.

    I also think this was reason why the last justice minister brought in a law that forbidden photographs from the court house to protect these elderly abusers from lynch mob -

    However, there are dozens of other violent criminals whose identities have been protected on civil liberty grounds.
    Former justice minister Mr Ahern deemed the right of criminals to have their identity protected to be of greater importance than the public's right to know what these individuals look like.
    The new Courts of Criminal Justice was designed so that criminals could be brought from the court to jail without the media capturing their faces.
    While the building project was conceived during Michael McDowell's term as justice minister, Mr Ahern saw the scheme through.
