Order says 17 alleged victims said were abused in Castleknock College, St Paul’s or other schools
Tom Maher , a man who is believed to be the first person to publicly allege sexual abuse at the fee-paying school, said he was sexually assaulted by a priest teaching there on two separate occasions in the 1970s.
The Vincentians said in light of recent revelations of child abuse at boarding schools, such as Blackrock and Castleknock, “it is possible that the congregation may receive further allegations”. The statement said the congregation has paid €1 million in compensation to alleged abuse victims, as well as spending €430,000 in associated legal fees and costs.
