Wikileaks documents published today show requests for information from the Murphy Commission "offended" many in the Vatican.

The commission investigated the handling of clerical abuse allegations in the Dublin Archdiocese.

The leaked cable from the US Embassy to the Holy See reveals the Vatican refused to allow its officials to testify before the Murphy Commission.

In the end the cable suggests the Irish Government was forced to grant Vatican officials immunity from testifying.

Clerical abuse survivor Andrew Madden says he's not surprised by the revelations.
