A GLENGORMLEY man who claims to have been repeatedly abused by a teacher at a Catholic primary school in West Belfast more than 40 years ago has expressed his dismay that the government inquiry into historical institutional abuse will not consider his case.

However, the man, who wants to be identified only as Joe Abused, is hopeful that the scope of the inquiry will eventually be broadened so that those who were subjected to horrific abuse at day schools can also have their voices heard.

Joe was educated by the De La Salle Christian Brothers at St. Finian's School in the lower Falls Road area of west Belfast. He says he was first abused at the age of nine in September 1964, with incidents involving the same Brother continuing until he left the school in June 1966.
