Abuse of pupils at Glenstal Abbey school in Co Limerick involved two monks

According to a review by the Catholic Church’s National Board for Safeguarding Children , published in 2014, 10 allegations of child abuse were made against six Benedictine monks at the monastery and school dating back to the start of 1975.

It noted that of the six accused monks “two are deceased”, one of whom had admitted the abuse and was sent for treatment. He was removed from monastic life/the clerical state by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2007. The allegation against the second deceased monk was received long after his death and its veracity could not be established.

Of the remaining four accused monks, two had left the Benedictines and Glenstal, while the other two were still there. The NBSC review found that “in the case of one of these, the allegations made by a third party have been found to have no basis in fact and appear to have been completely malicious. No complainant has been identified”.

Regarding the sixth monk about whom child safeguarding concerns arose, the review found: “The matters complained of happened in another jurisdiction almost 45 years ago and have been fully investigated by the civil authorities there and full information has been shared with An Garda Síochána and the HSE in Ireland.” He “is subject to a supervision contract which restricts his movements and activities”.

'confidentiality...historic...long deceased..no court proceedings...no legal costs... allegation against deceased monk was received long after his death and its veracity couldn't be established...' The Spiritans at least ate humble pie but these posh abusive bastards are defiant.
