Your honour, when I was at school in Terenure College it was a very safe place; for paedophiles. We had several to choose from, or should I say several we prayed would not choose to prey upon us.

As incoming new students, we were soon warned by the older boys of who was to be avoided, especially in a confined space. I learnt this the hard way.
