This comes after evil Walsh, 75, who was known as the ‘singing priest’ was spotted attending Mass at Dublin’s Pro Cathedral in recent weeks.
Evil Walsh was released from Arbour Hill prison last November after serving nearly 30 years behind bars for 38 sexual offences on schoolboys in the 1980s.
Depraved Walsh, who is known as the ‘Beast of Ballyfermot’, used the cover of the Catholic Church to prey on innocent children.
He was curate in Ballyfermot, Dublin and a chaplain to De La Salle school in Ballyfermot from 1978 to 1996 when he started to abuse the boys.
Formerly of Dublin’s Coolock, Walsh, who was known as an Elvis impersonator, was defrocked by Pope John Paul II in 1989 on the advice of Cardinal Desmond Connell and formally dismissed from the priesthood in 1996 because of his sick sexual abuse of young boys.
The evil man was mentioned in the Murphy Report into clerical sex abuse where it contained harrowing details of how the sicko abused serially and continually during his time as a Catholic priest.
During one of his court hearings it was heard that the sicko told gardai he was attracted to young boys aged between 10 and 12 and “that was always the case.”
With the depraved child sex abuser being spotted back on the streets of Dublin and attending Mass at Dublin’s Pro Cathedral, one of his brave victims Darren McGavin, 50, has spoken out calling his abuser “a barbaric animal, a limb of Satan” and calls him “The Beast of Ballyfermot.”
“If he thinks and feels that visiting churches for absolution is a form of remorse, he is severely misguided,” Darren told us in an exclusive interview.
“Remorse and forgiveness can only come from those he abused and raped and affected to date,” he continued. “He may still have his religious faith and belief in God but he shall not receive forgiveness unless he shows remorse. He has not proved he is remorseful whatsoever to date.”
“In my experience, a serial predator like Tony Walsh hasn't the capacity of moral conscience to change. I can only hope for him that his attendance at Mass every day is in search of redemption and not in search of new opportunities to get close to and abuse children,” said Darren.
“I personally haven't seen enough evidence that would lead me to believe he has changed his sexual predatory appetite for minors and vulnerable children,” said Darren. “That said, equal partial blame needs to be awarded to the judges that hand down lenient sentences.
“If it were one of these judges' family members or children that were abused and raped there would be no concessions given, let alone lenient sentences that included a get out of jail card for good behaviour.
“The Vatican also shares the blame in covering up and condoning this barbaric demonic behaviour of their servants employed by the Church.
“The Catholic Church still owes the Irish state millions of euro in renegade monies that they undertook and agreed to pay survivors to date, leaving the burden on the Irish taxpayers.
“Now they are trying to set up redress schemes when what they should be doing is to address this issue.
“There are several survivors that Tony Walsh has admitted to in court still awaiting compensation.
“The government is in collusion with the Church to delay these payments, enough survivors have died and or died by suicide in the meantime which means neither the government or the Catholic Church needs to hand out monies owed to them and their families left behind to clean up the mess they created.”
In an earlier interview with this paper just after sicko Walsh was released from prison, Darren told us: “He will always be a danger and a predator to young boys. He is a serial rapist and a serial molester,” Darren said in an exclusive interview with this paper.
Darren, who now works as a therapist and counsellor, encourages more of the evil sex abuser’s victims to come forward “for their own well being.”
“They will be believed, no matter what,” said Darren, adding “There are over 200 victims and so far only 38 have come forward and sadly 12 victims died by suicide.”
But Darren feels victims won’t come forward as they don’t believe they will get justice “as many perpetrators will get off with suspended sentences.”
“He clearly poses a real threat to our society, and anyone who says anything different professionally or otherwise is very much under an illusion or in delusion.
“He has also given no statement of personal apology to any of his victims or survivors, let alone the families of those survivors who ended their lives through suicide due to the shame and guilt they felt,” said Darren.
Courageous Darren was raped by Walsh over a four-year period between 1979 and 1983. Walsh received a 16 year jail term in January 2011 for raping Darren and two other victims.
Darren’s terrifying ordeal included being raped by the pervert three times every week between Christmas 1979 and May 1983.
Darren also told how Walsh bound his wrists and ankles with a rope belt before abusing him at a parochial house in Ballyfermot, west Dublin.
He added: “When he raped me for the first time in the parochial house, I will never forget the awful stench of whiskey on his breath. He closed the window and blasted out Elvis songs to drown out my screams. I remember hearing some footsteps outside and I was praying to whoever was there to save me.”
