BOSTON --
Clergy abuse victims are calling on local church leaders and the Irish government to detail known connections between the clergy abuse scandals in the U.S. and Ireland.
...
"Bishops in Ireland, just like bishops here, have been moving accused priests around even though they know they are dangerous and putting them in populations where they can continue to offend. Unfortunately, the places where they put them include our own back yard," Terry Mckiernan, of bishopaccountability.org.
The Web site bishopaccountability.org, which was started at the height of Boston's clergy sex abuse scandal, now has a new section detailing Irish priests in the U.S. accused of sexual misconduct.
There are dozens of names listed, along with stories of abuse. But advocates have now written to the Irish prime minister, asking him to extend his investigation of child abuse.
The group also wants Cardinal Sean O'Malley to open church files and release any names of priests who moved to Boston after being accused of misconduct in Ireland.
