FORMER pupils of a Co Cork boarding school during the tenure of Fr Donncha Mac Cárthaigh and Fr Tadhg Daly have described the school as “an educational gulag” and “a school that was run like a concentration camp”.

SENIOR members of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart intend to interview former pupils and teachers at a Co Cork boarding school as part of its efforts to tackle ongoing allegations of sexual abuse by a former principal.

A CORK-BASED priest was training under-age county teams and was a selector of the minor county football team, even though sex abuse allegations had been made against him years earlier.
