Dublin Report Artane inquiry will likely reveal the grim truth



By John Kelly



Ireland, the Ireland of the 1950s, has reached out a clammy hand to grab the attention of the present again. A police inquiry into sexual and physical abuse alleged to have been carried out in the former Artane Industrial school in northside Dublin is now concentrating on the activities of no fewer than 40 Irish Christian Brothers who served there, some of them still serving in the order, most dead or retired. Reports indicate that no fewer than three complaints are received in Clontarf police station per day. Thus, it has become the biggest such inquiry of its kind in a country that has already been rocked by several criminal prosecutions, most of them ending with the imprisonment of Catholic clergy entrusted with the care of the young.(Irish Echo July 14-20 1999 Vol 72 #28)
