The unnamed former Christian Brother was jailed for three years and two months for indecently assaulting five boys at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 30 June 2023.

The assaults took place at a Co Kilkenny school between August 1975 and June 1976, when he was teaching fourth class. A jury convicted him of 30 counts relating to five boys after a trial the previous month; it acquitted him of one count relating to a sixth boy.

Judge Elma Sheahan declined to suspend any part of the sentence, citing his lack of remorse and continued denial of the offences. She ordered that he receive appropriate medical treatment in custody.
