A MAN allegedly subjected to “horrific” abuse at a Catholic-run school in Belfast 60 years ago is to receive a £50,000 payout.
The 73-year-old claimed he suffered beatings with a strap and bunch of keys, and was forced to sleep on a mattress with bare springs at St Patrick’s training school.
His legal action against the De La Salle Order, who ran the facilities on the Glen Road, was settled at the High Court today.
Mr Justice Maguire was told an award of £50,000 plus costs is to be made.
