Athlone: Health Board, Gardaí 'knew of sex offence'
It has emerged that the Gardaí told the Midland Health Board about allegations of sexual assault involving a department head at Athlone Institute of Technology as far back as June 2004.
The Director of the Centre for Child and Youth Care at AIT, Doctor Niall McElwee, resigned last week after he informed the college he had been convicted of a sex offence in the Netherlands in 2005.
