It had been widely expected that the Minister would publish most of the Murphy Commission's report before this weekend.

The Government's decision to delay publication of the report into sexual abuse by priests in the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin has been condemned by the campaigner who first exposed church cover-ups in the capital.

Andrew Madden said ministers referred the Commission's Report back to the High Court despite having it since last July.

He criticised a comment by Minister for Children Barry Andrews that there was 'a material fact' that had not been brought to the attention of the High Court, and the Government wanted to seek the court's direction on the matter.

He said the Cabinet had had plenty of time to detail its concerns over ongoing criminal proceedings and present them to the High Court on two previous occasions.

He also recalled that last Thursday the High Court issued a very clear order regarding publication which a child could have understood and have actioned within an hour.
