A FORMER Christian Brother who taught at Creagh Lane National School has appeared before Limerick Circuit Court today charged in connection with the sexual abuse of school boys.

Sean John Drummond, 61, with an address at Ballinteer, Dublin pleaded guilty to 36 counts of indecently assaulting 19 boys on dates between July 1967 and July 1968.

The boys were all pupils at the school which was located on Bishop Street, and were aged between eight or nine when they were abused by the then Brother.

The court heard that the incidents of abuse took place at Creagh Lane National School, and one incident took place during Feile Luimnigh at a city theatre.

The 61-year-old was remanded on continuing bail to appear before the court again on October 6.

Judge Sean O'Donabhain ordered that his name be placed on the Sex Offenders Register.

The victims of the former Christian Brother were in court for today's proceedings.
