Aidan Gallagher was due to be ordained a priest but that ordination was deferred following the allegations. The brothers have no previous convictions. Ms Gallagher, reading her victim impact statement, said she always felt her life belonged to someone else. She recalled enjoying reading as a child because she said it could “whisk” her away to a different reality – “an alternative world in my head”.

She said she has been sober since September 2018, is now in a happy and healthy relationship and has a good relationship with her mother and brothers.“The burden I have carried all these years, I have passed on to them. I have no hate for them but I hate what they did,” she said.An investigating garda told Roisin Lacey SC, prosecuting, that the first incidence of abuse by Aidan Gallagher happened when Ms Gallagher was playing in his home and he told her to come out to the turf shed with him.

Thomas Gallagher was arrested and interviewed and although he answered all questions put to him, he “vigorously denied all the allegations” and denied touching Ms Gallagher.
