Bishop of Raphoe confirms Diocese cooperating with retired priest investigation - Highland Radio

The Bishop of Raphoe has confirmed that a retired priest of the diocese has been charged with assaulting two minors between 1972 and 1975. It is understood the 85-year-old retired priest has been released on bail after he was charged with 26 counts of indecent assault. In a statement, Bishop Alan McGuckian says the diocese has been cooperating fully with Gardai and Tusla regarding the case. He added that they are committed to assisting and supporting anyone who has been a victim of clerical abuse in seeking justice. As this is an active case, the Bishop says no further comment will be made.

Gardaí trawl files on illegal adoptions

Gardaí are coordinating a national response to reports of illegal adoptions and forged birth registrations amid calls for an inquiry into the practices. The force is considering the most appropriate action to take in cases where there is evidence that crimes have been committed but too much time has elapsed to allow a proper investigation, two senior sources said. A trawl of historic complaints about illegal adoptions across all garda divisions and a review of the files is likely to be a first step. The National Protective Services Bureau, whose remit includes child protection, is co-ordinating the gardaí s response.
