ST PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL has this evening apologised to the victims of convicted child rapist Patrick O’Brien who molested children at the place of worship.
O’Brien was a lay worker at the cathedral and admitted to 48 sample counts of indecent assault, including various instances of anal penetration, and three counts of sexual assault of the boys between 1974 and 2013.
The abuse happened at numerous locations throughout the country.
O’Brien was jailed for 13 years earlier this month for the rape and molestation of 14 young boys over the course of 40 years.
