Foróige raises concerns with Garda over Ferry volunteering

YOUTH group Foróige has contacted gardaí after it confirmed serial child rapist Michael Ferry worked with it as a volunteer during the 1980s.

The 55-year-old was involved with the Foróige club in Derrybeg, Co Donegal, between 1984 and 1987. This club collapsed in the late 1980s and was not operating while Ferry was preying on children in the local Irish college.

Foroige said he had not been involved with the group, in any capacity, since then and it has passed all details available to it onto the Garda and the Health Service Executive.
