Criticism of the Brothers for going to court was little more than prejudice run riot. It now appears less likely that the Christian Brothers will appeal to the Supreme Court its case against the Investigation Committee of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse. Following the decision of Mr Justice Abbott in the High Court yesterday to award costs of approximately €1 million, as well as other decisions in the order's favour, the argument for such an appeal becomes weaker. Of just as great importance for the Brothers in arriving at such a decision are changes to the investigation committee procedures, proposed by Mr Justice Ryan and announced by the Minister for Education and Science, Mr Dempsey, last Thursday. Last night Brother Edmund Garvey, communications officer with the Irish Christian Brothers, acknowledged that the awarding of costs to the order yesterday was "significant", but they awaited advice as to how significant this was.
