IRISH-American film director Tom McCarthy said he believes Ireland is
leading the way in addressing the Catholic Church child sex abuse
scandal. But he warned the Church must do everything "humanly possible" to root out the abuse and ensure it never happens again.
The director, born in New Jersey to Irish parents, made the comments at the UK premiere of his new film Spotlight, which tells the story of a 2001 newspaper investigation exposing the child sex abuse scandal in Boston, America. He told the Press Association he thought the Church had "absolutely" woken up to its past abuse.
