A VICTIM of paedophile priest Brendan Smyth, who was abused after he was reported to Cardinal Sean Brady, today called for the All Ireland Primate to resign.

Sam Adair was abused after the then Fr Brady investigated Smyth, and fellow-victim Brendan Boland had given fives names and addresses of other abused children to the investigation.

He said that at the time of the inquiry Cardinal Brady was not just a note taker, but a skilled canon lawyer.

Speaking on RTE Radio’s Morning Ireland show, he called on the church to compensate Smyth’s victims.
