Christian Brother jailed for sexually abusing boys

A Christian Brother has been jailed for sexually abusing young schoolboys in his classroom.

Brother Thomas McCarry, aged 66, had admitted a series of sample charges of indecently assaulting four boys as young as 10 at a national school in the midlands between 1984 and 1987.

McCarry, of Clareville, Finglas Rd, Glasnevin, Dublin, displayed no emotion as he was handed concurrent sentences of two years at Mullingar Circuit Court sitting in Tullamore yesterday.
