Episode Details

High Court clears the way for the names of 341 former Christian Brothers to be published nationwide in a landmark civil case, aimed at locating individuals who may hold crucial information about abuse — even though none are accused of wrongdoing. The case stems from a survivor’s claim against Brother Liam Coughlan, already jailed for multiple assaults, and the order’s head, David Gibson, who’s been criticized for refusing to appoint a legal representative, forcing plaintiffs to sue individual members. The judge approved the newspaper publication to help locate these former brothers, accused of breaching their duty to the survivor, and pushed the case back to November — a bold legal move to expand the scope of justice.
