Cloyne Report: Kenny Still Covering for Clergy

After the Cloyne report the praise for Enda Kenny’s Dail speech criticising the Catholic Church is hard to justify.

No-one now doubts the Pope and the bishops covered up child abuse and protected paedophile priests from arrest and prosecution to preserve their own power.

Pope Benedict had been personally responsible for the cover up but Kenny only referred to ‘Vatican’ responsibility.

Cloyne’s Bishop Magee went on the run but still no DPP or Garda is trying to arrest him.

Kenny promised no resources of any kind in implementing legislation for the ‘Children First’ guidelines!

It is obvious the Church should not be running children’s services.

However, the majority of primary and secondary schools in Ireland are still under the authority of the local bishop and parish priest.

Again Kenny had no comment.

Some people may have been relieved to hear a politician finally acknowledge the Church cover-up but Kenny himself is still covering for the Church hierarchy.

Any Bishop or Pope who covered up child abuse should be prosecuted for child abuse.

All children’s services, especially schools and childcare should be immediately removed from any church authority.

Childcare emergencies like child abuse and neglect require Emergency Childcare services.

Urgent assessments by Social workers are required, including out-of-hours provision. Child protection care plans often require direct provision of childcare services.

These include family support workers, preschool and school supported placements, respite and full-time fostering and adoption services as well as trained family and individual therapists and counsellors.

Support from other health and education services means cut-backs must also be reversed.

Labour and Fine Gael cuts in services show their support for ‘Child Protection’ is a lie.

Fighting for decent children’s services is the best way to honour the victims of Cloyne.
