Mercy Nuns and De La Salle Brothers were biased and cruel against the poor pupils in Castlebar; the better-off were treated in a different fashion. Thank God the truth is coming out at last. I remember a young orphan boy getting several beatings from the De La Salles. He has never forgotten it, though he is close on 50 years in Australia. What rotten memories this man has, now in his laste 70s.
