BELFAST — The embattled head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has said he will not step down over allegations he sought to cover up a notorious case of serial child sex abuse.

Cardinal Sean Brady, under intense pressure to quit amid a widespread paedophile priest scandal in Europe and the United States, said Monday he wanted to help the Church recover from the controversy.

"In the years that remain to me as Archbishop of Armagh, I am fully committed to building on the substantial progress made in child safeguarding in recent years," he said in a statement.

"I will do all I can to help sow the seeds for a genuine healing and renewal in the Church," he added.

Brady -- Archbishop of Armagh, in Northern Ireland, as well as being Primate of All Ireland -- made the comments as new details of abuse were released by the Irish Catholic Church's child protection watchdog.
