The President of the High Court has formally confirmed a recommendation that a former secondary school teacher who groomed and sexually exploited a 13-year-old girl be struck off the teaching register for 30 years.

Cian Cooney , of Ballymahon, Co Longford, is currently serving a five-year jail sentence for the 2013 offences. He previously worked as a PE and geography teacher at a south Dublin secondary school. Cooney’s wrongdoing “could hardly have been more egregious”, she went on. He started to groom a barely adolescent child and subjected her to extreme sexual abuse over a considerable period of time, she noted.

Ms Justice Irvine said it is clear the protection of children and the public were considered to be of “paramount importance” when the disciplinary committee panel decided on the sanction. In its report, the panel stressed that it is “vital” that the reprimand should help to maintain public trust and confidence in teachers and the teaching profession, she said.
