Apprentice Abuse Allegations Under Scrutiny
from Cork News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A former army apprentice’s harrowing testimony has ignited a tribunal investigation into alleged systemic abuse at the Apprentice School, with claims of physical violence, psychological torment, and even threats of death. One apprentice, Damien Traynor, detailed brutal beatings, degrading acts, and being denied leave for his grandfather’s funeral—all while being told he was on a “ride” list for punishment. The abuse escalated to the point where he considered self-harm and smashed a pool table before being released by his parents. Just months later, another apprentice died under suspicious circumstances during sentry duty. The officer accused remains defiant, denying all allegations, as the tribunal digs deeper into a disturbing chapter of military history.
