Dublin Commission welcomes the publication of his report Link in the original language
The Archdiocese of Dublin Commission of Inquiry welcomes the imminent publication of his report on the management of child sexual abuse of clergy in the diocese of Dublin in the period 1975 to 2004.
The Commission began its work at the end of March 2006 and published its report to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform in July 2009. The Commission regrets that, due to circumstances beyond its control, you can not get the entire report released at this time. As can be seen from the Judgement of Judge Gilligan issued November 19, decisions were made by the DPP, after the report is been delivered to the Minister and such decisions could not be taken into account by the Commission in its report.
The Commission is aware that a number of people will be disappointed to discover that, due to the recent instructions of the Supreme Court, the parties of the report that concern them are not published. The Commission seeks to ensure that those that publication will be created as this is a requirement of the legislation that governs all the Commissions of Inquiry. The Commission acknowledges that the complainants in question are likely to suffer the biggest disappointment. However, it should be noted that there are also people in Church and State authorities on which the actions of a complete picture is not available because of these exclusions.
For three and a half years, the Commission is in possession of highly sensitive information that has guarded carefully. It is a matter of great regret to the Commission, therefore, that the report, or parts of it were leaked in a newspaper last weekend. The Commission believes that those responsible for the loss clearly did not take into account the hardship that its partial publication might cause to the complainants and those whose actions are examined in the report.
