A Catholic religious order has accepted that a notorious paedophile
priest Father Brendan Smyth abused children while they were in the care
of nuns, a lawyer told a public inquiry.
Smyth was at the heart of one of the first paedophile priest scandals to envelope the Catholic Church on the island of Ireland. The priest visited two south Belfast residential homes at the centre of the independent probe into wrongdoing stretching back decades.
