A man allegedly subjected to sexual abuse at a Co Down children’s home more than 50 years ago is to receive £22,500 to settle his legal action.
The 66-year-old claims he suffered a serious psychiatric injury due to his treatment as a boy staying at Rubane House in Kircubbin.
He sued the De La Salle religious order who ran the home, seeking damages for a “serious and persistent” alleged campaign.
It was confirmed at the High Court in Belfast on Tuesday that his lawsuit has seen resolved.
Solicitor Claire McKeegan of KRW Law, representing the plaintiff, announced a settlement for the sum of £22,500.
