Ex-teacher jailed for abusing former pupils

A teacher, described as a "determined paedophile", who indecently assaulted nine boys he taught at a Sligo primary school has been jailed for 12 years by Judge Michael White.

Patrick Curran, aged 59, a teacher at St John’s National School, Temple Street, Sligo since July 1966, was found guilty by a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury last month of 192 counts of indecently assaulting nine boys between September 1966 and June 1984.
