Irish justice minister asks court guidance on release of Dublin abuse report
July 31, 2009
Ireland's justice minister, Dermot Ahern, has asked the High Court for guidance on the publication of a commission report on sexual abuse in the Dublin archdiocese. Because the report mentions priests who are currently facing criminal trials, the court may order a delay in the public release of the commission's findings. Ahern indicated that he would like to make the report public "with all possible speed" but does not want to jeopardize the prosecution of the priests guilty of abuse.
