Gardaí to investigate sex abuse allegations

GARDAÍ are to carry out another investigation into allegations of child sex abuse at a centre which housed orphans and boys with learning difficulties.

A garda spokesman said they had become aware of complaints by seven more former residents of the Brothers of Charity-run centre at Lota in Glanmire, Co Cork.

However, one sex abuse victim last night claimed there could be up to 100 people who still haven’t made complaints to gardaí.
