DUBLIN (Reuters) - An Irish state inquiry uncovered a "truly shocking" level of sexual abuse at religious schools, primarily those run by the Catholic Church, over nearly a century with 2,395 allegations, the government said on Tuesday.
The preliminary "scoping inquiry" found 884 alleged sexual abusers at more than 300 schools across the country between 1927 and 2013. Most of the cases occurred from the 1960s to the 1990s, the government said.
