Audit of child sex abuse allegations to start within weeks
An audit of child sex abuse allegations in every Catholic diocese in the country will begin within weeks and is expected to take around two years to complete.
It comes after bishops agreed procedures for the inquiry which will investigate allegations against priests, missionary societies and members of religious orders.
The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church said it is now a matter of prioritising current and future risks to children.
