Court hears how boy sent to industrial school for two years in 1960s after stealing food and coin

A man who was aged 12 when sent by a court to an industrial school for two years over stealing some food and a one crown coin from a neighbour's house has won an important Supreme Court appeal over a refusal to consider his redress application.

He sought redress over being allegedly severely physically and sexually abused by named Brothers at the school between late 1962 and April 1964.
