According to Florence Horsman-Hogan, founder of Let Our Voices Emerge (LOVE) 30% of allegations of abuse made against religious orders are "false".

If LOVE or the British False Memory Society (BFMS) have a single shred of evidence to prove this they must immediately hand it over to the police.

Surely LOVE and the BFMS would not want to be involved in any sort of cover up - would they?

If "30% of allegations made against the religious are false" isn't it only fair to ask what percentage of those accused of abuse might be making false protestations of innocence?

I didn't realise that this letter was published in the Irish Examiner Newspaper on March 3rd, 2004.
