JUSTICE MINISTER Alan Shatter said it is up to gardaí to investigate whether or not the operators of the school where paedophile Michael Ferry worked broke any criminal law.

IRELAND’S leading youth organisation Foróige was last night investigating whether serial paedophile Michael Ferry worked as a youth leader at one of its clubs.

The Donegal summer school where a convicted sex offender worked as a caretaker has issued a statement today expressing its "deepest regret" to Michael Ferry's victims.

Sinn Féin TD for Donegal South West Pearse Doherty has said with hindsight, he was exposed to what could be deemed as inappropriate behaviour by convicted paedophile Michael Ferry.

PRESSURE was last night mounting on the management of a Donegal school to explain why they continued to use paedophile Michael Ferry as a caretaker after he was convicted of sexual assault.

THE system which allowed a convicted paedophile to return to his school caretaker position and abuse four more boys has been branded a joke by his original victim.

A serial sex abuser who preyed on boys at a summer school building even after being convicted was not employed there as a caretaker, one of its directors has claimed.

The Garda commissioner has told the Justice Minister that Gardaí in Donegal expressed concern about the continued employment of child abuser Michael Ferry at a school in 2002.

The Justice Minister is demanding to know why a school caretaker, who had a conviction for sexually assault, was allowed to continue working at a Donegal school - where he then sexually molested another four young boys.

The rape victim of a Donegal school caretaker who was yesterday jailed says the pain of what he went through will never go away.

A DONEGAL caretaker who kept his job at a school despite a conviction for sexually assaulting a pupil has been sentenced to 18 years for the rape and sexual assault of four more boys.

Donegal school caretaker Michael Ferry, today sentenced to 18 years for the rape and sexual assault of four boys, was not identified after a 2002 sexual assault conviction as his victim did not wish to upset Ferry's ill mother.

A caretaker jailed for 14 years today for molesting and raping four boys at a Donegal school has been described as a "demon" by one of his victims.
