For more than 30 years, the name George Gibney has haunted Irish swimming.
­
The former national swimming coach left Ireland in the 1990s after a prosecution against him was halted, leaving many of those who said they were abused by him without the day in court they had waited for.
Today, after decades of investigations, legal battles, failed hopes and unanswered questions, Gibney has been convicted of sexually abusing young girls more than 50 years ago.

Creative and hard-working, Charles Self moved to Ireland in the late 1970s when he was poached from the BBC for an enviable role at RTÉ.
As the lead set designer on the then-thriving Late Late Show, Self was able to mould the flagship programme to his creative vision.
Popular with his colleagues and in line for a pay rise, Self was flying high, until his life was tragically cut short in 1982 following a violent and frenzied attack that had major implications for Ireland’s gay community.
On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Katie Byrne is joined by Sunday Independent journalist Liam Collins to look back at the brutal, still unsolved murder of Charles Self.
