Newcastle Royal Commission Switches To Catholic Church

BY IAN CROUCH

 The Royal Commission into alleged Child Sex Abuse cover-ups will switch it's focus from the Anglican Church to the Catholic Diocese of Maitland Newcastle today.

The commission will look into how the church handled allegations leveled at Father Vincent Ryan and Marist Brothers, Francis Cable (also known as Brother Romuald) and Thomas Butler (also known as Brother Patrick).

The public hearing will run until at least Friday week, while the investigation into the Anglican Church will resume in November.
