Wall collapses at church under construction killing 27
A brick wall of a church under construction collapsed during a thunderstorm killing at least 27 parishioners and wounding more than 20 as worshippers used a wood and tin shack inside the unfinished structure. The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland disclosed that 102 Dublin priests are suspected of abusing children, prompting a government probe into church state cover ups. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has led efforts addressing records of more than 2,800 priests since 2003, with archdiocesan costs already reaching 7 million dollars and potential further property sales to cover 40 lawsuits and additional claims.
