Gardaí are encouraging anyone who wishes to report a crime relating to historical sexual abuse in schools run by religious orders to come forward.
They say they’re fully aware of the profound impact of such abuse – and any reports will be dealt with in a sensitive matter.
It comes as a number of local schools were named in a scoping inquiry report this week, including St. John’s National School in Sligo, which had 20 allegations with 10 alleged abusers.
Reports can be made by email, by phone or by contacting your local Garda station.
