Priests in the archdiocese of Dublin have rallied to the support of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin for his "courage" in tackling the grave problem of clerical sexual abuse of children.
The vote of confidence in Archbishop Martin's "clear-thinking" leadership came as priests anxiously await publication either in full or in part of the report which was given on Tuesday to Justice Minister Dermot Ahern.
The council of priests which acts as an advisory body to Archbishop Martin has voiced its appreciation of his victim-centred approach to abuse complaints.
"The priests are delighted to have such a clear-thinking, courageous bishop in charge," said Fr Joe Mullan, the chairman of the council.
Fr Mullan recognised that some "individual priests may have personal issues with the archbishop, but as a body we are firmly behind him".

God, wat ben ik hier blij mee!
Wat begon met die krankzinnige nacht met het uitkomen van het Fernsrapport, zo pal na de destructie van het Philadelphia rapport, de domino dagen erop volgend; het kom uit je vergadering en kijk bij Ceauşescu en het weet je nog toen de Muur viel verbleekte.
Heer, dank U voor mijn eigenwijze snuffert waardoor ook ik mee mocht kijken!
Til je hoofd van tafel, Tutu, já het kan!
