Apparently the tallies almost 400 children and expected to rise significantly as the investigation continues! Sadly not all will face justice.

The four archbishops, obsessed with secrecy and avoiding scandal, protected abusers and reputations at all costs.
The four - John Charles McQuaid who died in 1973, Dermot Ryan who died in 1984, Kevin McNamara who died in 1987, and retired Cardinal Desmond Connell - did not hand over information on abusers.
Even when Cardinal Connell gave 17 names to officers in 1995, the Commission later found there were 28 priests with allegations against them at that time.
