17 meet with gardaí over alleged sex abuse at college

Gardaí have interviewed 17 men who claim they were sexually abused while attending a college on the outskirts of Cork.

The complaints date back to the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s when the college was run by the order of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

They have been made against four former members of staff at the Carrignavar college. It is understood that one of them died recently.
