Man, 82, acknowledges sexual abuse of two children

An 82-year-old man from a village in East Kerry had publically acknowledged his abuse of two women when they were young children, and he was in his forties and fifties, the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee has heard.

Patrick Daly of Coom, Gneeveguilla, Rathmore, a married man with one son, had previously pleaded guilty to a total of nine charges in relation to two complainants.

Five charges of indecent assault in relation to the first victim involved sample counts between January 1976 and September 1989.
