And anger is still building here in Ireland too. I wonder if Cardinal Connell has any worries about his own job tonight. And given how the courts finally broke through the fog of claims of Canon Law secrecy to reveal Cardinal Law's failures to act against child abusers, do you think C. Connell will be happy to see the state inquiry gearing up on the horizon?
