Former brother pleads guilty
When sentenced two years ago Edward Bryan was described as showing not one shred of remorse for his victims and during the trial he said of the abuse, “I deny it emphatically”. When it was put to him that if the allegations by the boys were untrue then he must feel like the unluckiest man in Ireland, he replied, “I certainly feel that way.”
That was in February 2013. He was convicted and jailed for five years. He appealed the convictions and the severity of the sentence. The Court of Criminal Appeal ruled against him on all but one of the convictions and he will be re-sentenced at the appeal court in Dublin tomorrow.
