A graph depicting how religious staff members found to have been abusing children were transferred – as told in the 2009 Ryan Report (click to enlarge); View as as a PDF here.
Industrial Memories is a digital project carried out by UCD’s School of English, Drama and Film and the UCD Insight Centre, funded by the Irish Research Council.
It looked at the 2009 Ryan Report at Ireland’s legacy of institutional child abuse.
The researchers write:
We wanted to know how staff members were transferred within the system.
If, for example, a religious brother was found to be abusing a child, what happened to that brother? In most cases, abusers were not sacked. They were sent to another school to abuse again.
As you’ll see from our graphic, we traced 86 individuals and their movements in the residential system.
Each of the small nodes on this image represents a staff member in the system.
The larger nodes represent the locations the staff were transferred between: from residential to day schools, to the order houses, to the option to dismiss. The larger the node, the more transfers in and out of that institution.
The Christian Brothers controlled the largest schools in the system. And, as you can see, they also transferred the highest number of abusive staff members.
There should be no criss-crossing lines. If a staff member was found abusing a child, then that person should have been automatically Dismissed or sent to an Order House. But they weren’t.
