No full awareness of abuse until 1995

The Commission to inquire into Child Abuse was told today by the Brothers of Charity order that there was not a full awareness of the issue of sexual abuse until 1995 when the Order received a complaint by the Gardai.

After a case involving two members went through the courts, more complaints followed after quick succession.  At the time of going to the Redress Board the order, which ran institutions for people with learning disabilities, had 50 cases before it.
