RTE viewers praise powerful' Jordan Conroy Late Late Show interview

RTE viewers were full of praise for Rugby Sevens star Jordan Conroy as he spoke about being a child of domestic abuse.

Conroy and his mother Jennie lived in Germany with his sister until he was 10, before moving to Tullamore in Offaly. Speaking to Patrick Kiely, he said: "Growing up in Germany was a very dark and traumatic time. Me and my mam and my sister had to go through long years of domestic abuse. At a very young age it was very tough to see your mam beaten down by a man and you're supposed to be a man of the house and try to protect her.

"I hated him with a passion because I saw what he was doing. I shouldn't have so much hatred as a kid towards some person and sometimes I did fight back but it didn't do any good. It was tough.""We finally were able to prove what he was doing to her. I just remember waking up and hearing arguing and I just knew the minute I got that sinking feeling in my stomach that it was happening again.
