NORTHERN IRELAND
UTV
UTV has won a prestigious Royal Television Society award for a documentary on paedophile priest Brendan Smyth.
Reporter Chris Moore, executive producer Paul Clarke and camera operator Drew Welsh were in London to pick up the award on Wednesday night.
‘The Resurrection of Brendan Smyth’ was aired on UTV in December 2010.
It followed the trail of broken lives left behind by the sex predator who raped and assaulted children in Ireland, Britain and America as the Catholic Church covered up his crimes.
Journalist Chris Moore, who broke the Brendan Smyth child sex abuse story in a UTV documentary in 1994, believes many children were abused by the paedophile priest after allegations first emerged in the 1970s.
