Victims angered by week amnesty for paedophile
O’Rourke was released as scheduled from the Midlands Prison in Portlaoise early yesterday morning after serving just nine years for a reign of terror that destroyed the lives of children entrusted to his care for almost two decades.
A Prison Service spokesperson said the 59-year-old father of six from Edenderry, Co Offaly, had been fully briefed on his responsibilities under the Register of Sex Offenders Act and had signed a document acknowledging he understood his obligations.
