Ex-Christian Brother criticises treatment
Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:16

A former Christian Brother whose conviction of indecent assault on a boy in a Galway institution was quashed yesterday, has criticised the way he was treated by gardaí and the courts.

Paul Farrell, 56, told RTÉ radio he was now living on the edge of society and could not see himself working as a teacher again.
He called on politicians to admit that some former residents of institutions are coming forward with false memories of abuse.
