A WOMAN who gave evidence at the trial of two nuns accused of abusing girls after seeing media coverage, told a court the approved school they worked at set her on the right track.
Helen Lynass, 59, got in touch with the QC for Anne Kenny, known as Mother Rosaria at Dalbeath approved school, after being “shocked” at what she heard on the news.
She said she was a “rebel” who would not listen to anybody when she was sent there in the 1960s but she “listened to Mother Rosaria”.
The mother-of-four claimed she saw no corporal punishment being used and said if it had happened it would have been spoken about.
Mrs Lynass, from Clydebank, was giving evidence at Paisley Sheriff Court at the trial of Anne Kenny, 79, and Agnes Reville, 77, known as Mother Martin.
