Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin has said he was appalled to
hear of delays by some orders in fully implementing standards and
guidelines of child protection.
The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children said seven of the nine orders it has just completed inspections on have a poor record of management, making any assessment of their current practice difficult. The Catholic Church's child protection watchdog says opportunities to safeguard children were missed and known abusers allowed to remain in ministry in 1990s.
