Michael Carthy, St Joseph’s Boys NS, Boyle, Roscommon
I was a pupil around 1960-63. He wanted you to learn. But his method was to instil deep fear. Beatings were daily and savage. My two years at 4th and 5th class changed me forever. My confidence was destroyed. My self-esteem reduced to nothing. Long lasting anxiety and depression stunted my later personal and professional outcomes. I was not alone. That is no consolation to me. Thank God Minister John Boland abolished corporal punishment in 1983. For too many like me this came too late.
