Education department criticised in case of two college priests

BOTH Mgr O’Callaghan and the Department of Education are criticised in the case of two priests in a diocesan college.

A man named Thomas (not his real name) alleged in May 2002 that the two priests abused him sexually while he was a student in a diocesan college in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Garda conducted a thorough investigation into the matter and found that none of his classmates had experienced any sexual abuse.
