Garda investigations into paedophile rugby coach John McClean will continue after he was jailed yesterday for eight years for sexually abusing 23 schoolboys.
McClean targeted pupils in sports changing rooms, classrooms, his own office and during costume fittings for school plays between 1973 and 1990.
The victims were aged between 11 and 17, with some abused over multiple occasions by the English teacher at the prestigious Terenure College, Dublin.
His first known victim, Damien Hetherington, was 12 when he was abused in the early 1970s. Mr Hetherington said McClean “got what he deserved” after being sentenced.
