Paedophile Smyth threatened other cleric

Fr William Fitzgerald, who served with Smyth at Kilnacrott Abbey in Co Cavan during the late 1980s, described the serial child molester as a scary individual whose notoriety extended across the world.
Giving evidence to the Historical Abuse Inquiry, the 61-year-old Australian also said he had to bar Smyth from church rehearsals with nine altar boys.
