Court clears way for Dublin abuse report

The High Court has cleared the way for the publication of the report of the Commission of Investigation into sexual abuse allegations in the Dublin Archdiocese but references which identify another person must be removed.

Last month, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan ruled that the report could be published but that a specified chapter might prejudice court proceedings.

He directed that chapter 19 and all references to the person who is the subject of that chapter could not be published until directed by the court.

This afternoon, the judge said that he considered that all references throughout the report which identify the person who is the subject matter of chapter 20 and his brother could not be published until the court directs.
