Paedophile victim says children must be protected

A VICTIM of paedophile Derry O’Rourke yesterday said she feared for children’s safety in the Wicklow town of Baltinglass, after it was revealed the former swimming coach was living there.

The woman urged the local people to do whatever they felt was necessary to protect their children from a man she described as “devious” but “charming”.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Joe Duffy show, Amanda rejected an apology from O’Rourke to his victims, which he gave to the Sunday World, describing it as a “slap in the face” to victims.
