A man abused by pedophile priest Fr Brendan Smyth has appealed to the
authorities to make an interim compensation payment to the victims of
predatory clerics who ran state-sanctioned care homes.
Sam Adair, who was repeatedly abused by Fr Brendan Smyth when he was ‘in care’ at Nazareth Lodge on the Ormeau Road, warned yesterday that the slow pace of the institutional abuse enquiry could mean that the first payments to the abused “will be funeral payments”.
