Abuse survivors group demands €1bn from Vatican



Groups representing survivors of clerical sex abuse want the Vatican to provide €1bn compensation for victims.

They have written a letter to Pope Benedict also urging him to act on the findings of the Murphy report into child abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese.

It is being sent ahead of a two-day synod between the Pontiff and bishops from all 26 dioceses, which will take place in Rome next Monday and Tuesday.

Victims also want to meet with the Pope during his visit to England in September.
