Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson to team up in sex abuse play

Child abuse happens in all nations and it seems in both the secular and religious environments. It takes a special sort of psychological illness though to decide that the best thing to do is cover it up and let abusers continue to abuse. That is the difference between 'ethics' and 'morality'. Someone can call themselves highly 'moral' and yet persuade themselves that the greater good is to silence news of degeneracy in members of a church. No-one can be under any illusion that it is ethical. Cardinal Sean Brady in Ireland no doubt regards himself as a 'moral' man and yet he has the blood of at least two suicide victims on his hands who were assaulted by the degenerate Brendan Smyth after Sean Brady released him back into the wild unreported. Sean Brady the ethical expert and canon lawyer- and an ethical failure of the worst sort and he doesn't even think he should resign. The repellent slug.

How proud I used to be when I would hear on the radio The Artane Boys' Band playing especially on All-Ireland Sunday from Croke Park. I am saddened at times now to think of the abuse many, if not most, of these poor boys were subjected to. It is wonderful that Gabriel and Liam are adding their awesome talents to share Mr. Flynn's story and hopefully promote a greater awareness and further our desire that no child will ever suffer again.

I fully agree with the comments made by cowabunga.Some of the filth and violence that is portrayed on our TV and movie screens is sickening.You cannot tell me that this sort of stuff does not have an effect on peoples minds and actions.

And again-why doesnt someone look into the reasons or the 'triggers' that set abusers off, to do the crimes they do? Can it be the media world that dehumanizes women, men, young people, and yes, even children-putting them into sexually suggestive plays, movies, TV shows, commercials, etc. Read the 'ratings' box of movies and see the garbage that child actors are expected to be a part of-whose fault is that? Can we boycott the movies?

Well, Its about time SOMEONE in the entertainment world is looking at abuse as a world wide problem. Wonder if they'll ever do a play about child/minor abuse in Hollywood? OOOOOOooooo, that would be brave indeed!

Oh no,Say it ain't so Joe . A play about Penn State already?

People need to stop calling, any attention given to expose and stop the sexual abuse of children, controversial. It is a crime! Sweeping it under the carpet and not talking about it has led to the destruction of many lives. It is a blessing that some of the survivors of this horrible abuse are able to bring attention and credibility to this human rights issue.
