A Dundalk man abused by paedophile priest
Brendan Smyth says the former cardinal's latest apology to victims is
'weak and feeble' and barriers are still being put up against victims by
the Catholic Church.
Brendan Boland, from Marian Park, was a victim of Ireland's most notorious child abuser but bravely spoke out about what happened to him in the early 1970s. However, the then Father Sean Brady was one of the clerics involved in swearing Mr Boland, and another teen, to silence when the victims gave evidence to an investigative panel of priests at the Friary in 1975. Smyth continued to abuse children until he was jailed in 1994.
