I was very interested in correspondence I, and no doubt many other Members, received this morning from Mannix Flynn or James X as he describes himself. He was just one of many children admitted to institutions and his story is very interesting. He talks about going to Goldenbridge at the age of six. He was then transferred to St. Joseph's industrial school in Galway and later to St. Conleth's reform school in Daingean. From 1965 to 1972, he spent time in Marlborough House in Dublin, a place of detention for boys under 16 run by the Department of Education. He was also in Mountjoy Prison, St. Patrick's Institution and Dundrum Central Mental Hospital. Mr. Flynn's statement outlines his history of physical and sexual abuse in all those centres. His story shows that religious orders and Departments were involved. His history is that of just one person but it shows very clearly that the Government was correct in stating that various Government agencies and Departments put young people into institutions run by religious orders or run directly by Department staff.
