How is Ireland still uncovering stories of widespread abuse?
Update: 2024-09-05
Description
The numbers alone stopped the country in its tracks this week: 2,395 allegations of sexual abuse of children in schools run by religious orders. 844 alleged abusers. 308 schools. 42 religious orders. A new report revealed stories of abuse across many schools. But how are we back here again? And has enough changed to stop it from happening again? We're joined by Dr Joe Mooney, an assistant professor of social work at University College Dublin who has a specific focus on child protection, and our own News Correspondent Órla Ryan, who is also creator and presenter of the Redacted Lives documentary podcast series, which explored the stories of those who passed through mother and baby homes.One in Four provides support for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse; you can call 01 662 4070 or email info@oneinfour.ie.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal. Providing open access to valuable journalism in Ireland has been the aim of The Journal for a decade.
