Why is it so difficult to sue the Christian Brothers?
At his sentencing this week a Dublin court heard that retired Christian Brother Paul Hendrick felt 'extreme remorse' for his sexual abuse of Kenneth Grace, who in the early 1980s was a vulnerable schoolboy in Hendrick's care.
Mr Grace is suing the congregation of the Christian Brothers over the abuse he suffered from Hendrick, but the congregation has adopted a legal strategy that has been described as “cynical” and a form of “double abuse”.
Colm Keena explains the Christian Brothers makes life difficult for those wishing to hold them to account in the courts.
