The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church is a Church Organisation which has no connection with or reporting function to my Office. The Health Service Executive, which has statutory responsibility for child welfare and protection matters has been conducting a national audit of all Catholic dioceses and Religious Orders. The HSE expects to be in a position to furnish a report to me in February/March on the first element of this audit, as it relates to all dioceses.
