A REPORT BY the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) into the handling of allegations of child sexual abuse in Cloyne has found evidence of failures on the part of gardaí. However, GSOC is not recommending any disciplinary action as no offences appear to have been committed.
In 2011, the Cloyne Report outlined evidence that indicated gardaí did not act upon information they had in relation to complaints of sexual abuse in the Cork diocese. A public interest investigation was opened by GSOC in March 2012 as a result.
