The current Archbishop of Dublin has warned the Catholic Church not to regard the publication of final chapter of the Murphy Report as closure.

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin issued a statement in the wake of the publication of Chapter 20 of the Murphy Report into clerical sex abuse in the Dublin diocese between 1975 and 2004.

The Irish Times reports that the Archbishop has warned against drawing a line under a ‘dark period in the history of the church in Dublin’ now that the final chapter of the Murphy report has been published.

The Archbishop also revealed that he was ‘aware of allegations against Patrick McCabe by over 30 named persons here and in the United States’.

But I've eaten recently and will have to let dinner settle before I tackle that one.
