Pope Francis arrived at Dublin Airport on August 25 at the start of a two-day visit, the first papal visit since 1979.

The pope was expected to meet with survivors of clerical sexual abuse during his visit, which comes a week after the Catholic Church came under renewed scrutiny for its handling of abuse cases following the publication of a grand jury report on sexual abuse in six Pennsylvania dioceses.
