'I will have peace, the day they put me in a coffin'

Michael O'Brien endured six years of sexual abuse at an industrial school in Tipperary, Ireland in the 1940s. It started when he was eight. He was abused by both a Catholic priest and a brother of a religious order. The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis will meet survivors of clerical abuse on his visit to Ireland later this week.
