Court to rule next week on claim brought by man who PIRB will not compensate
The High Court will rule next week on a legal challenge brought by a man who claims he was abused in an industrial school against the Residential Institutions Redress Board's refusal to accept his application for compensation.
The board refused to accept the application on grounds that it was made too late. The man, now in his 70s, had been in St Patrick’s Industrial School at Upton in Cork for six years, where he claimed he was abused.
