GAA coach jailed for sex assaults on five boys
Judge Petria McDonnell, who suspended two years of the sentence, described 72-year-old Ronan McCormack, as a man who “groomed” schoolboy footballers aged between 10 and 13 for sex abuse and had still not expressed remorse.
She said that, as a football coach trusted by parents, teachers, and children, there was definite predatory grooming involved.
