A former Christian Brother who, along with three others, faces over 70 charges of indecent and physical assault against young boys in his care at an industrial school in the west between 1959 and 1991 appeared before Galway District Court yesterday, where he was remanded on continuing bail.
The man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, did not appear at a hearing in November. A bench warrant for his arrest was cancelled yesterday when he turned up. The case was adjourned to February 28th.
