A teacher aged 66 yesterday pleaded guilty to a number of indecent assaults on two boys in a midlands school between 1967 and 1970, and in a Dublin school 10 years before.

He was remanded on bail for a month for sentence.

One victim, now aged 42, said there was consistent abuse for three years. Judge David Anderson at Dublin District Court ordered that the teacher's name should not be published, although the victim said he wanted it published.
