Pope Francis has begged forgiveness for members of the Catholic Church's hierarchy who "kept quiet" about clerical child sex abuse.
He was ending a two‑day visit to the Republic of Ireland by celebrating a Mass at Dublin's Phoenix Park.
The Argentine Pope asked forgiveness for the "abuses in Ireland, abuses of power, conscience and sexual abuses" perpetrated by Church leaders.
It was the first papal visit to Ireland for 39 years.
