Overview
\"The approach of the Diocese and Lucas in not reporting to police was motivated, at least in part, by a desire to avoid scandal being associated with the Church. This approach distorted what should have been the primary concern at all times - the protection of children who might be abused by [Denis McAlinden],\" Commissioner [Cunneen] said. \"[Brian Lucas] as well as others clearly knew what Fr Denis McAlinden was up to for a long, long time,\" Peter Gogarty, who was abused by Fr [James Fletcher], said. \"He didn't do anything with that information about McAlinden other than report it to the bishop, [Leo Clarke], and deliberately, by his own evidence, deliberately did not take any notes or keep any record of his knowledge or interviews, so that that information could not be used later on by police. So it's a fairly damning finding really.\"
