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 when he arrived 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. Aged eight, he was not told where he was going when he was transferred on board the ship the New Australian.
