I did not vote because none of the questions represented my opinion. As an atheist it is no concern of mine how the catholic church deals with issues. If the law has been broken there is a proper structure of investigation by the Gardai and if justified prosecution by the state prosecuter. What is absolutely essential is that all educational and medical establishments be removed from the power and influence of the catholic church and brought into full public ownership. The catholic church (and every other religion) should have the freedom to own churches and preach within those walls - thats it.
