30 years of sex abuse at hands of Brothers

THIRTY years of sexual abuse endured by mentally disabled children at the hands of the Brothers of Charity has been documented for the first time.

Yesterday, the Health Service Executive published the long-delayed report into the physical and sexual abuse of pupils at two special schools in Galway between 1965 and 1998.

It outlined the suffering of 22 pupils who agreed to be interviewed by the Inquiry into the services at Kilcornan Residential Centre, Clarinbridge, and the Holy Family School, Renmore, Co Galway.
