GAA coach jailed for abusing juvenile player

A GAA coach who sexually abused a star juvenile player was jailed for three years yesterday.

Seamus Kilroy, aged 57, who also played inter-county hurling for Roscommon, had denied three counts of indecently assaulting the 10-year-old boy in 1983.

However, a jury sitting at Roscommon Circuit Criminal Court had found him guilty on all three counts and sentencing was adjourned to the court sitting in Longford yesterday.
