25 Men Taking Fresh Civil Cases Against Paedophile Surgeon and Religious Order - 13/10/2025
Twenty-five men are taking fresh civil cases against paedophile surgeon Michael Shine and the religious order that ran the hospital where he once worked.
Adrienne Reilly, CEO of advocacy organisation Dignity4Patients, said the new civil cases against Shine and the Medical Missionaries of Mary show that “the Shine case is still current because there are still people coming forward for the very first time”.
She explained that recent reporting on the case and a campaign for a Commission of Investigation to probe matters surrounding the case has forced victims to revisit painful childhood memories of abuse: “Media exposure and engagement with high level government ministers have been the main trigger for this.”
Adrienne joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
