A victim of a prolific paedophile priest has said Irish police must be held responsible for the abuse he suffered as a boy. Brendan Boland was sexually abused by Fr Brendan Smyth in the 1970s.
An inquiry heard this week that police in Dublin were aware of Smyth's activities as far back as 1973, more than 20 years before he was convicted. Mr Boland also said an apology to abuse survivors from a senior member of the Catholic church was "weak and feeble".
