"I read this and I couldn't find the words.
I'm Irish and I was brought up a Catholic and a very strong Catholic and I was filled with emotion.
I was filled with horror, and I was filled with embarrassment.
"For the first time in my life and I've made some 93/94 films, I never felt this way before.
I was lying on my bed, I shot up straight and I thought I'm going to do something about this.
Whatever celebrity status I have in the film world, I'm going to do something."

He met with Catherine Corless, the local historian who revealed the story first.
