Alleged sex abuse victims at one of the country’s most exclusive schools have claimed a paedophile ring operated there.
The claims were made after two past pupils, Mark Ryan, 61, and his brother David, 58, revealed their nightmare ordeals on RTE radio. The Irish Mirror reported yesterday how 57 alleged victims made historical child sex abuse claims against clerics at Blackrock College in South Dublin.
Alleged victims recalled their experiences on RTE’s Liveline show, with some claiming that a paedophile ring operated within the religious Holy Ghost Order that founded the school. David said: “They knew what was going on, but they brushed it under the carpet.”
