George Gibney, national and Olympic coach (1984-1991) and teacher at Newpark Comprehensive School in the 1970s, was charged with 27 counts of sexual abuse involving children and youth he coached. A judicial review in 1994 prevented the case from proceeding due to the length of time that had elapsed since the alleged incidents took place. He left Ireland to live in the United States. Following the release of the BBC podcast Where is George Gibney?, it was revealed that gardaí included new victims to their ongoing investigation of historical sexual abuse.
