On Thursday, John McClean (76) was sentenced to eight years in prison, after pleading guilty to charges of indecently assaulting 23 pupils between 1973 and 1990.
One of the survivors, Damien Hetherington (59), said McClean’s abuse had been covered up, and the “dogs in the street were barking about it for 30 years” in Terenure. He speaks to Niall and talks about his time in the school and the abuse from McClean.
