Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences Against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed)
6:00 pm
David Cullinane (Sinn Fein)
I fully agree with what the Minister said in his response, but there can be occasions where a child who has been abused may in the course of making his or her confession, confess that to a priest, and this is where a difficulty may arise. Responsibility lies with the priest. That was the point I was making, not that the abuser would report the priest.
