Patrick Corrigan of Amnesty International speaks to Breakfast ahead of the former Primate’s testimony today
The former Primate of All Ireland Sean Brady will appear before the North’s Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry today.
The probe is focusing on the abuses carried out by paedophile priest Brendan Smyth and examining whether systemic failings allowed him to continue offending for so long.
Yesterday, the inquiry heard that Gardaí were aware of Smyth’s abuses as early as the 1970s.
Patrick Corrigan, Programme Director of Amnesty International in Northern Ireland, spoke to Breakfast this morning and said former Cardinal Brady’s testimony comes after a harrowing week of testimony.
