The Taoiseach said he hopes the church will reflect on the fact that it has only paid 13 per cent of the costs of a Commission of Investigation and redress scheme set up to help survivors of child sex abuse.
A report from the Comptroller and Auditor General published by the Department of Education reveals that by the end of 2015 the total costs of the commission which inquired into the child abuse, and the Redress Scheme, were an estimated €1.5bn.
Speaking in Brussels today, Enda Kenny said he hopes the church measures up to what it agreed to originally.
