Mickey Harte quizzed by PSNI after accusations of physical abuse at school?

FFS in the Christian brothers schools & the grammar schools in Belfast, it was capital punishment that we were more afraid of in the 1970s - the CBs & the priests thought that they could hand out hidings right left & centre & get away with it - they usually did. St Malachys had 2 so-called "Deans of Discipline" - 2 proper thugs in cassocks. One of them took a heart attack & snuffed it.......good riddance. The other one was in bother in Kilkeel lately, selling off unconsecrated ground, where the unbaptised were buried. Obviously he's learned little or nothing about compassion in recent years. Plus the headmaster who gave these thugs free reign went on to become bishop - I only ever saw him hit somebody once, because he was so stuck up that he wouldn't have lowered himself to hit the unwashed in his care - he got the bully boys to do it for him.

Are you sure 'corporal punishment' was against the law in the 1970's?
