Recent Work

A survivor of historical child sexual abuse in an Irish school asks how many more abusers will die before the Commission of Investigation reports. Philip Treacy, Coleman Legal LLP, examines the urgency facing survivors.

The Scoping Inquiry has revealed close to 2,400 allegations of historical sexual abuse in religious-run schools across Ireland. The report, detailing the abuse inflicted on thousands of children, calls for a full Commission of Investigation and urges the government to consider financial redress for survivors.
