Uki Goñi says St Conleth’s has not gone far enough in addressing the presence of a former SS officer
A former pupil of St Conleth’s College has described a statement by the school about an ex-SS officer that taught there as a “non-apology”.

Mr Goñi also drew attention to Feutren’s violent behaviour as a teacher. He “unleashed his baser instincts upon defenceless children, and, far from being an example to emulate, he was a boastful, unrepentant and proud former officer in the most evil and tyrannical organisation of the 20th century, the Nazi SS”.
In a response issued following a meeting of the board of management of the school on Wednesday, its chair Vincent Sheridan said it had been known in the school that Feutren was an “ardent Berton nationalist”.
