Franciscan Friars apologise to abuse victims for failing to safeguard children

The Franciscan Friars in Ireland (OFM) have apologised to abuse victims, as a new report is published. The Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) report - spanning a 45 year period from 1953 to 1998 - shows three friars were convicted by the courts, and also highlights failure on the part of the Franciscan Order to deal adequately with the complaints.
