Abuse commission told nun 'vilified'

Sr Xavieria Lally of the Goldenbridge industrial school in Dublin, had been "demonised and vilified" over the past decade, with this "accepted in the public domain as fact", Sr Helena O'Donoghue of the Sisters of Mercy told the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse yesterday.
The nuns' denials that children in the industrial school were "abused in a horrific way" had been "almost completely ignored", she said.
