CHILD ABUSE - IRELAND


1. In June 1997, the Kilkenny People had an article on child sex abuse in Ireland. (cover-up , involving top clergy , Garda and "celebrities" )

The article related that sex-abuse victims from a SE Leinster based 'Survivors' group planned to name a Bishop , a high ranking Garda (police officer) , a Government Minister and a number of high profile "personalities".

But, then we apparently get a cover-up.

2. Michael O'Brien was sexually and physically abused while a child resident during the 1940's of St Josephs Industrial School in Clonmel, Ireland, which was run by the Rosminian religious order.

A painful but revealing piece of TV: A victim of child abuse and State negligence hits back.




3. US victims of child abuse have reported a link to Ireland.

70 Irish priests who worked in the USA have been linked to child abuse.
