The number of former pupils from Spiritan schools reporting that they were abused now stands close to 300. 

Joining Kieran to discuss this further is Patsy McGarry, of the Irish Times. Also calling in is William, a survivor of abuse at Blackrock College to share his story. 

If you are a victim of abuse, there are resources for you - do not hesitate to reach out.
