:08:43. > :08:47.for the offenders. Of course today is about the victims in Cloyne in
:08:47. > :08:51.particular. The public acknowledgement of what they have
:08:52. > :08:58.been through. I spoke to some of the people affected by abuses in

:09:03. > :09:08.picturesque town on the south coast and a place of painful pilgrimage
:09:08. > :09:13.from victims of abuse. This is where victims and families came to
:09:13. > :09:18.tell John McGee about the horrors they had suffered. Jack came with
:09:18. > :09:24.his daughter, who died four years ago after an operation. This woman
:09:24. > :09:33.is now 14. The first thing he asked what were we looking for money. We
:09:33. > :09:42.said we were not. We were speaking in private. He did not say he
:09:42. > :09:45.believed her. But he said he would look after things. Nothing was
:09:45. > :09:51.accomplished and they came again. Eventually, his deputy said that
:09:51. > :09:58.the abuser had been cured. A they said the police had been a way and
:09:58. > :10:02.that they had had counselling and that he was all right now.
:10:02. > :10:06.further action was taken by the Church. It was not an isolated case.
:10:06. > :10:12.The failure to act swiftly and appropriately but others in danger.
:10:12. > :10:15.This woman was abused for the age of 12. The first of everything for
:10:15. > :10:21.me at a young age was this devil and it feels like being
:10:21. > :10:26.contaminated by a horrible disease. I feel like I have really been
:10:26. > :10:33.touched by the devil and that is something that nobody will ever fix
:10:33. > :10:37.for me. It took decades before she felt able to report her abuses. The
:10:37. > :10:41.file was sent to be Director of Public Prosecutions but the case
:10:41. > :10:48.was not pursued. No justice from the system and a little church
:10:48. > :10:52.understanding. I went to an archbishop. And he said in 2005
:10:52. > :10:57.that it was a great example of child practice for the rest of the
:10:57. > :11:03.country. The failure to protect children has let a painful legacy
:11:03. > :11:08.it. The extraordinary thing about these things is that you were
:11:08. > :11:18.ashamed even though you had not done anything wrong. It is all very
:11:18. > :11:19.
:11:19. > :11:23.ugly. You get that feeling of guilt. That this is happening. The impact
:11:23. > :11:29.for some victims and families was of resignation but for others,
:11:29. > :11:35.simmering anger. As far as I am concerned, the state of the church
:11:35. > :11:44.in 2011 is corrupt, eagle and rotten, absolutely rotten. It is a
:11:45. > :11:48.diseased organisation and the state For some, no response can
:11:48. > :11:53.adequately persuade them that things are getting better. But
:11:53. > :12:00.people are hoping this marks the end of the failure to protect
:12:00. > :12:05.innocent children from clerical sex abuse. What do we know about John
:12:05. > :12:09.McGee, who has faced a scathing criticism? He progressed from a
:12:09. > :12:14.farm outside Newry to one of the but influential church positions.
:12:14. > :12:19.He was in effect a gatekeeper to three popes. We have been finding
:12:19. > :12:23.out about this former Vatican insider. For years he was at the
:12:23. > :12:30.heart of the Vatican. He was personal secretary to three
:12:30. > :12:36.successive men as Pope. He went far beyond his clerical grade. This is
:12:36. > :12:40.just outside the area where he was a student. Then he joined the
:12:40. > :12:47.priesthood and headed to missions in Africa. When he returned he
:12:47. > :12:52.became secretary to be Bem Pope. He was kept on by his successor. Then,
:12:52. > :12:57.he died after just 33 days in office. The Newry reported charted
:12:57. > :13:07.the rise of his local priest made good and the death of the Pope at
:13:07. > :13:09.
:13:09. > :13:15.the time gave him a great local angle. It was the date of the Pope
:13:15. > :13:20.acclaiming him as he was then that thrust his man into the spotlight.
:13:20. > :13:25.That claim that he had been there has to find the late pontiff was in
:13:25. > :13:31.fact not correct. It was in fact a number that found him. When asked
:13:31. > :13:39.why he made that claim, he simply said, I did find the Pope dead and
:13:39. > :13:44.I just was not the first. John McGee worked for the Popes for
:13:44. > :13:50.eight years and would have been in debt confidences. He would have
:13:50. > :14:00.seen a lot. They live with the Pope in his quarters. They are basically
:14:00. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:08.I do not plan to return. We have another meeting?
:14:08. > :14:14.He was said to have by the Vatican to try to resolve the Prison
:14:14. > :14:18.protest. The Bishop's Palace is a long way from the grace-and-favour
:14:18. > :14:24.apartment in Rome he would have called home. But it was to hear
:14:24. > :14:28.that Bishop Magee returned in 1987 to takeover the diocese of Cloyne.
:14:28. > :14:33.And it was not just his mishandling of clerical abuse allegations that
:14:33. > :14:38.caused concern. Matt was a trainee priest at the time and the subject
:14:38. > :14:42.of allegations that he try to kill his father to benefit from the
:14:42. > :14:47.family well. The claims resulted in it will feel on-off investigation
:14:47. > :14:51.in which Bishop Magee was involved. It led to illness which forced him
:14:52. > :14:56.out of the priest had. He says just like the child abuse controversy,
:14:56. > :15:02.Bishop Magee and the rest of the hierarchy did not know how to deal
:15:02. > :15:07.with a difficult case like his. was totally inconsistent. There was
:15:07. > :15:13.no systematic policy at all procedures for dealing with child -
:15:13. > :15:18.- such events. Generally a lot of the people responsible for the wake
:15:18. > :15:23.it was managed and that experience. Be sure John McKie it is now living
:15:23. > :15:27.in retirement. His was a glittering career that will be overshadowed by
:15:28. > :15:31.the way it was ended. He made the same mistake as many of his
:15:31. > :15:35.contemporaries but in his case, the child protection arrangements were
:15:35. > :15:42.supposedly in place, so he cannot claim he did not know how to deal
:15:42. > :15:47.with the abuse allegations. In response to the report, the
:15:47. > :15:53.Catholic Prime that Sean brainy face the media. Colin Macaulay
:15:53. > :16:00.asked him whether he except he was wrong not to remove John Magee.
:16:00. > :16:04.was hopeful that this situation we continue under his leadership but I
:16:04. > :16:09.knew this status could not have continued indefinitely, some change
:16:09. > :16:14.would have to come about and that change would only happen if he
:16:14. > :16:20.would step aside, which is the normal thing when an allegation is
:16:20. > :16:24.made, and apply for an Apostolic administration, somebody else to
:16:24. > :16:28.run the diocese but he would be there to help the enquiry which had
:16:28. > :16:35.been announced by the state at that time. A in the context of
:16:35. > :16:38.everything, do you regret the decision to back him? I regret that
:16:38. > :16:44.any heard and misunderstanding that cause people because I wanted him
:16:44. > :16:49.not to resign and not to run away. But to stay and face his
:16:50. > :16:56.responsibilities but it soon became clear that he needed help running
:16:56. > :17:03.the diocese. How bad a day is this for the Catholic Church? It is a
:17:03. > :17:09.very bad day. It saddens me greatly. I am very upset. I want to
:17:09. > :17:14.apologise to all the victims of abuse and to their parents and
:17:14. > :17:18.families, but as I say, if there is one positive thing to come out of
:17:18. > :17:27.it is the confirmation that this church structures have been proven
:17:27. > :17:31.to be effective. Still to come: everyone is talking about glory,

:17:42. > :17:46.A new report into the Mull of Kintyre crash in 1994 as clear the
:17:46. > :17:50.two pilots of gross negligence. The Defence Secretary has apologised to
:17:50. > :17:58.their families and said he hoped this would remove any stain on
:17:58. > :18:01.their reputations. All 29 people along -- died along with 25 of the
:18:01. > :18:06.UK's most senior intelligence experts.
:18:06. > :18:09.This is the day the families of the pilots have longed for, the day
:18:09. > :18:15.they received an apology and the day they were told that that ruling
:18:15. > :18:20.of gross negligence would be set aside. The worst peacetime accident
:18:20. > :18:27.took the lives of 29 people, four crew and 25 intelligence officers
:18:27. > :18:31.from Northern Ireland. What exactly happened has been the focus of
:18:31. > :18:37.near-miss inquiries. In 1995, a review by two RAF air marshals
:18:37. > :18:40.found that the two pilots had been grossly negligent. Today the
:18:40. > :18:45.Defence Secretary Liam Fox said that finding should be overturned.
:18:45. > :18:49.I have written to the widows of the two pilots, to the father of
:18:49. > :18:53.Jonathan Tapper and the brother of Richard Kirk to express our apology
:18:54. > :18:58.for the distress that was caused to them by the findings of negligence.
:18:58. > :19:03.I wish to express that apology publicly. The Defence Secretary's
:19:03. > :19:08.remarks about the pilots goes to the heart of the relatives campaign
:19:08. > :19:15.and his statement received a warm welcome. Absolutely delighted, very
:19:15. > :19:19.taken aback. A I was not expecting we would get that much today. I
:19:19. > :19:25.understood we would get an idea of what the report said and that was
:19:25. > :19:31.it, so to get the fact that Liam Fox is supporting Lord Philip's
:19:31. > :19:37.recommendations, that they made an apology is really much appreciated.
:19:37. > :19:40.Watching Liam Fox's statement was Susan. Her husband was in the
:19:40. > :19:45.Special Branch and died in the crash. She believes the Defence
:19:45. > :19:50.Secretary has done the right thing. In the sense that he has given back
:19:50. > :19:54.those men's reputation I am delighted because this is the day
:19:55. > :19:59.about the family is there, and it is important that it is their day.
:19:59. > :20:02.That must be wonderful for them. Today's report received political
:20:02. > :20:07.support from across the house as well as the apology and the
:20:07. > :20:11.overturning of the gross negligence Roding, today's findings recommend
:20:11. > :20:14.that the Ministry of Defence should reconsider how senior intelligence
:20:14. > :20:18.officers are transported in the future.
:20:18. > :20:22.The Defence Secretary said we may not know exactly what caused the
:20:22. > :20:28.crash. He said he hoped today's report would offer some closure to
:20:28. > :20:32.the families. There are fears that the Republic
:20:32. > :20:38.could need a second international bail-out after the country's debt
:20:38. > :20:45.was downgraded to junk status. That means investors few Irish
:20:45. > :20:51.government debt as too risky to buy. Our economics editor joins me. What
:20:52. > :20:56.does it mean? Can Ireland not borrow more money? It means it
:20:56. > :20:59.cannot borrow money in the international money markets. There
:20:59. > :21:05.are people getting better deals from loan sharks than Ireland would
:21:05. > :21:11.get at the moment. That is why it is relying on the European Union
:21:11. > :21:15.and the Central Bank and IMF to fund it. When Moodys downgrade the
:21:15. > :21:19.value of Irish debt and says that is because they think it could be a
:21:19. > :21:23.second bail-out, it becomes a self- fulfilling policy because it pushes
:21:23. > :21:27.up the rates that would be charged on our debt, that means it is
:21:27. > :21:32.unlikely they can return to the market and have to rely on the
:21:32. > :21:41.European Union and the chances of another bail-out become more likely.
:21:41. > :21:44.Moodys does praise island's efforts that financial consolidation.
:21:44. > :21:48.They also have their own measures which they announced on Monday
:21:48. > :21:53.which they thought would stabilise things and allow Ireland to return
:21:53. > :21:59.to the markets. But Moodys does not think Europe is doing a good job.
:21:59. > :22:03.It wants a better deal to sort out these problems, so they say this is
:22:03. > :22:10.not an Irish problem, it is a problem by Rick -- European
