A remarkable new film captures life in Ireland’s only boarding school for young children, writes Esther McCarthy

THE Nepalese boy looks shocked but he has a very big ice-cream.

A CONTROVERSIAL documentary about Donegal poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh is set to be broadcast by RTÉ tonight despite pleas by the subject to postpone its transmission because of its portrayal of his sexual relationships with young men in Nepal.

POET Cathal Ó Searcaigh has rejected his portrayal in a documentary suggesting that he sexually exploited teenage boys in Nepal as distorted and inaccurate.

One of Ireland’s best-known poets today denied he sexually exploited young men as gardaí investigated allegations against him.
