1982 Irish school ban on corporal punishment exposed in RTÉ documentary, revealing under-reported abuse and urging expanded historical inquiry.
The documentary "Leathered" by RTÉ exposes the widespread use of corporal punishment in Irish schools until the 1980s, when it was only banned in 1982.
It reveals that between 1962 and 1982, just 108 allegations of teacher abuse were recorded, raising concerns about under-reporting.
Survivors are urging the government to expand the inquiry into historical abuse to encompass physical punishment, highlighting the ongoing impact of these practices on former students.
