Irish abuse victims to ask Vatican for 1 billion euros
February 09, 2010
When the Irish hierarchy meets with Pope Benedict on February 15 and 16, Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, will deliver a letter from representatives for abuse victims asking for one billion euros (approximately $1.37 billion) in compensation. Irish religious orders “paid just €128m of the total compensation bill of €1.2bn” following the Ryan report, notes the Irish Independent.
The victims’ representatives also requested that Pope Benedict meet with abuse victims during his September apostolic journey.
