I think everyone at this stage is aware of the report on physical, sexual and mental abuse in our residential institutions in Ireland. These institutions were primarily run by the Catholic Church in Ireland.
Damien Mulley believes that every time someone searches Google for “Catholic Church in Ireland” that the abuse report itself should be there for everyone to see. I completely agree with him. I think it’s only fair that everyone knows how badly these institutions treated our young kids and how the Irish government and the Catholic Church covered up this abuse for years. I won’t even go into how they are dealing with the situation now as this isn’t the place for that…
So to help with the cause – I’m going to link to the report here – http://www.childabusecommission.com/rpt/
In addition included below is Damien Mulley‘s powerpoint presentation of the report.

To whom it may concern
Could anyone out there who was in St Joseph’s Industrial School, Tralee between 1959 to 1962 please respond.
I was between 13 & 16 years old then.
I am anxious to try & trace 3 or 4 lads who were in there with me.
You can contact me direct on ifabureau@tiscali.co.uk – or via this site.
Kindly be in touch.
Regards.
Patrick Dillon.
