On 13 July, 2011, when releasing the Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne (Cloyne Report), Minister for Justice Equality and Defence, Mr. Alan Shatter TD and Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Ms. Frances Fitzgerald TD issued a joint statement. The statement includes this excerpt: Following publication of the Dublin Archdiocese report, the Garda Síochána Inspectorate was requested to carry out a comprehensive review of Garda arrangements for dealing with child sex abuse. While that work has been completed, it has been agreed with the Chief Inspector Kathleen O’Toole, that prior to publication of their report, they would be given a chance to review it in the light of the findings of the Cloyne Report. This review is expected to take only a matter of weeks. This addendum is the result of the Inspectorate’s review of the Cloyne Report.
