Five Christian Brothers facing a total of 76 charges of sexually assaulting young boys in their care at an industrial school in Salthill, Galway, were given continuing bail at Galway District Court yesterday. One of the men was not in court due to illness. The men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are charged with the sexual assault, indecent assault and assault causing bodily harm of young boys between 1959 and 1991.
The men are to appear in court again on March 11th.
