- St Joseph's Industrial School, Letterfrack
St Joseph's Industrial School was an industrial school for young boys in Letterfrack, County Galway, Ireland. The school was opened in 1887, and ran by the Congregation of Christian Brothers.
St Joseph's received a lasting notoriety through alleged poor treatment of the boys by some of the Brothers there, with allegations of sexual abuse and extreme physical punishments going back to the 1930s. [ [http://www.paddydoyle.com/letterfrackabuse.html Paddy Doyle: Newspaper Articles ] ]
