Three people sexually abused by paedophile priest Brendan Smyth want the
Supreme Court to permit them sue a Catholic Bishop here over the
church’s alleged failure to act to prevent Smyth abusing children.
If the church kept “under wraps” facts that would have identified Smyth as being an abuser of children, that is a matter of “significant public importance” entitling his side to appeal to the Supreme Court, Michael Counihan SC, for the three, said.
