St. Josephs Industrial School, Artane was an industrial school run by the Christian Brothers in Artane, Dublin from 1870 to 1969. Sexual abuse of children by members of the Christian Brothers was a chronic problem. Abuse by Christian Brothers was treated as a threat to the reputation of the order, inadvertently protecting abusers. The most common reaction to abuse being reported was to move the offender to another institution run by the same order. Frequently abuse was not investigated nor was it reported to the Garda Síochána nor to the Department of Education. Exploitation of smaller pupils at the school by older ones was also significant.
