The offence for which he was charged related to an amateurish break-in when coerced and accompanied by older children. In the severe surroundings of that Oak panelled court, deep in the bowels of Dublin Castle. I Mickey Finn was sentenced to three years in what was then known as. St Joseph's Industrial school. Letterfrack. Connemara. Ireland.
It gives me no pleasure as an Irish Citizen to assist in recording an account of the heartbreaking tribulation of those boys who, largely through no fault of their own were sent to this Devils School and were abused by the Christan Brothers on a daily basis.
Mickey Finn is the pen name of RFH who after living away from Ireland for over twenty years has returned. To see that not a lot has changed in his native land.
This has resulted in the writing of this harrowing autobiography.
Mickey lives in Dublin and has five children and eight grand children.ver menos
