Child abuse victims’ group to run election candidate

A group of men who were abused as primary school students intend to run a candidate in the next general election to highlight the lack of action on redress for victims of sexual abuse in day schools.

Former students of Creagh Lane National School in Limerick, who were abused by their Christian Brother teacher in the 1960s, intend to run a candidate in the upcoming election, which is expected to be called in 2020.
