Clodagh Malone
Clodagh Malone was recently in the news after she expressed her feelings about the publication of names of Jesuits accused of child sex abuse, including her alleged abuser, Fr Diarmuid Ó Péicín. She described the revelation as both 'triggering' and liberating' and shared her experience of being abused at a young age, highlighting her vulnerability as a child born in a mother and baby home. Malone hopes that the naming of abusers will encourage other victims to come forward and seek justice.
