Papal visit overshadowed by the Catholic church’s cover-up of child sexual abuse
Pope Francis has arrived in Ireland for a brief visit that will be dominated by demands for action at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic church to deal with the systemic cover-up of abuse by priests and church institutions.
An Alitalia flight carrying the pope, his entourage and the Vatican media corps touched down at Dublin airport just before 10.30am on Saturday for only the second papal visit to Ireland.
