Thanks @RTENewsPaulC for highlighting this abuse - "Back in 1978, as a 10-year-old child, I was battered by my 4th-class teacher who slapped, punched and kicked me around the prefab cloakroom in a prolonged attack." @EoinKCostello rte.ie/news/analysis-…
@katebentleykb @SamaritansIRL 72 years old watching this, Leathered in a De La Salle National School by *Christian Brothers*. Life-long emotional trauma, only one of many battered day in day out. Not an ounce of Christianity in them.
Anyone affected by the documentary, #Leathered, on RTE one tonight, support lines like The Samaritans are open, call📱116 123 @SamaritansIRL. Thank you to the brave men who fought against corporal punishment for so many children 💔.

I remember Bro Ailbe leathering a lad for taking 2 steps coming down the stairs. His face was red with temper and the veins on his neck were bulging. He hit the lad with such force that his body was hoping off the ground. #leathered
Frank Crummey and Martin Reynolds faced fierce resistance from the Church and State when they campaigned to have corporal punishment banned throughout the 1960s and 70s. #Leathered | Wednesday | 9.35pm
Saw this at the Dart station today, they had to wait a very long time.....
Letter to the editor in the @Independent_ie on 4th of November.
It was a welcome development to see the public statement by the President of .@KieransCollege on the @RTEOne doc #Leathered stkieranscollege.ie/college_news/s…
Vatican acknowledges ‘harm’ caused by abuse in Irish religious-run schools irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…
On today's show, we asked if there should be compensation for all victims of physical abuse in Irish schools before corporal punishment was criminalised. Many callers shared their horrific experiences and the abuse they suffered in school. Listen here: niallboylan.com/podcast/corpor…
#Leathered examines the dark history of corporal punishment in Irish schools, asking whether the State needs to reassess the scale/impact of physical abuse meted out to pupils over decades. 21:35 Tomorrow on #RTE #children #childhoods
I don’t think it is right to call them schools. This was my reaction to watching the RTE documentary Leathered, exploring the brutal corporal punishment inflicted on Irish children, especially young boys, in Irish schools during mostly the 60s and 70s. gript.ie/perrins-leathe…
I remember it to this day, what Primary school in Ireland was like in the 1950s and 60s Nothing to do with religious orders, these were state paid secular teachers who beat the living daylights out of us children simply for little things like daring to ask questions
Theo Dorgan and his lifelong friend and schoolmate, film festival co-director Mick Hannigan, speak about their experiences at the renowned North Monastery School in Cork during the 1960s. #Leathered | Tonight | 9.35pm
By coincidence I wrote about my own experience recently #leathered waterford-news.ie/opinion/cather…
Distressing memories of dark days in our educational systems remain unforgettable. Tough watching. Those who know, know. I take comfort in the great teachers. I had way more great ones than not-so-great ones! #Leathered #RTEInvestigates
It was difficult to watch and witness grown men revisit the trauma of childhood in schools where Religious ruled with an iron fist and leather strap on #RTEOne #Leathered. Survivors, families & activists Dr Paddy & Mary Randles, Frank Crummey (88 yrs) + mums incredibly brave ppl

Things were as bad across the river in Sullivan’s Quay. The mid morning break in 6th class was particularly grim as we knew when we went back the sadistic brother would without reason randomly call five of us up to get a belt of his leather. Every single day #leathered
