The years 1969 and 1970 are particularly significant for me because I spent them in Gardiner Street working for the Jesuits. My work there was mainly polishing floors, cleaning bathrooms, making beds, setting tables, washing-up, boiling eggs, making toast, waiting on tables, beiing forced to perform orla sex or to do "hand jobs" while being buggered by two Jesuits, one was a priest and the other a Brother. On many occasion I had to deliver items to Belvedere College and University House.
Recently I had occasion to visit a medical doctor who explained to me the reason for my choking fits/panic attacks. I keep getting this sensation that I'm choking on a coin. These very frequent attacks are the result of the sexual assaults on me all those years ago.
It was during those years that I began to get paid for my "services" by the BLACK-GARBS and it was usually two shillings or half-a-crown, depending on which "service" the BLACK-GARBED-MONSTERS forced me to perform.
For almost two years, and within those two years I was probably raped over 250 times by BLACK-GARBED-MONSTERS.
Sir Anthony O'Reilly has the audacity to say in an interview with the religious monthly, 'The Word', that the scandals have "reduced the prestige of priests and bishops to a level which is utterly undeserved".
Excuse me Sir Anthony but being buggered by a Jesuit or by any clergyman, or being beaten black-and-blue by a member of a religious order is more likely to reduce the prestige of the clergy. You are talking utter rubbish by implying that the truth as has been revealed about the actions of members of the clergy has no bearing on the reduced prestige of the clergy. And you say "I never heard of a single case of sex abuse and I never heard any of my companions talk about it....", now that statement begs the question: Where exactly did you have your head ? That's really a rhetorical question Sir Anthony because it's clear from the article in "The Word" that your head is still stuck firmly in the same place.
If this is an example of the fightback or counter-attack then you've lost, and imagine losing in your first foray!!! And who exactly are you going to counter-attack ?
