Smyth suspicions go back decades

The activities of Ireland's most infamous paedophile priest sparked concerns years before he was ordained, an inquiry has heard.  There was suspicion that Fr Brendan Smyth, who admitted sexually assaulting hundreds of children, had abused a boy while training in Rome during the late 1940s.
The revelations were made to the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry, which is examining whether systemic failings allowed Smyth - a member of the Norbertine order - to perpetrate the abuse over more than four decades.
