A former child migrant from Northern Ireland to Australia has told
a public inquiry he was transferred with no idea where he was going and
faced more sexual abuse after arriving in a Catholic home there.
Des McDaid, 70, said he was targeted by older boys, a lay teacher and members of the Christian Brothers religious order which ran the Clontarf institution near Perth in Western Australia. He thought he was an orphan until meeting his mother decades later who begged for his forgiveness
