FORTY SIX PRIESTS were dealt with in the damning report of the Commission of Investigation with Wicklow children making up some of the sexual abuse victims who fell prey to members of the clergy. Only ten of the complaints of sexual abuse against the 46 priests were found to have been handled correctly by the archdiocese.
There is criticism of the way the reports of abuse were handled, such as Fr. Noel Reynolds while based in Glendalough, and Fr. Tom Naugton while he was a curate in Valleymount.
Fr. Frank McCarthy abused a young child while working in Dunlavin.
Meanwhile, allegations of abuse against one priest, who was given the pseudonym Fr. Edmondus, while he was a chaplain at Crumlin Hospital, were ignored.
Sixteen years later the same priest sexually assaulted a nine year-old girl while based in County Wicklow.
