Statement by Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland

Statement by Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, on the publication of the Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse

Today’s publication of the Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, by Mr Justice Sean Ryan, throws light on a dark period of the past. The publication of this comprehensive report and analysis is a welcome and important step in establishing the truth, giving justice to victims and ensuring such abuse does not happen again.

This Report makes it clear that great wrong and hurt were caused to some of the most vulnerable children in our society.  It documents a shameful catalogue of cruelty: neglect, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, perpetrated against children.

I am profoundly sorry and deeply ashamed that children suffered in such awful ways in these institutions.  Children deserved better and especially from those caring for them in the name of Jesus Christ.

I hope the publication of today’s Report will help to heal the hurts of victims and to address the wrongs of the past.  The Catholic Church remains determined to do all that is necessary to make the Church a safe, life-giving and joyful place for children.
