The late paedophile priest Bill Carney used to hunt victims in children’s homes — invited in by unwitting nuns — and entice them into his flashy cars.
His former classmate and friend Fr Francis McCarthy, who was quieter but just as evil, used to join him. They took altar boys on trips together — in one reported case, a boy abused by McCarthy was later abused by Carney.

PRIEST named as one of country’s worst sex monsters found DEAD in prison cell
Paedophile Bill Carney has escaped justice ahead of his trial after his sudden death yesterday morning at the Midlands jail.
Known to have had heart trouble, the 73-year-old was rushed to hospital after his cellmate alerted prison staff.
However, he was declared dead on arrival at the nearby Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.
The former cleric was regarded as one of the most prolific paedophiles and was named in the 2009 Murphy Report.
It also highlighted how church officials and gardai failed to act, allowing him to rape and abuse even more young victims.
The scandal saw Carney being extradited back to Ireland to face dozens of charges from the U.K., where he had been living freely for more than 10 years.
The Murphy report into the cover-up by the Catholic Church and Irish state of clerical sex abuse was published in November 2009.
It described Carney as “a serial sexual abuser of children, male and female”, saying that there had been complaints and suspicions “in respect of 32 named individuals” and that “there is evidence he abused many more children”.
One man who had been one of Carney’s altar servers told a BBC documentary: “I heard a groan and I saw in the bedroom, a boy, a little older than me, naked between the sheets.
Carney, 62, became a priest in 1974 and used his position to molest dozens of children.
He sexually attacked boys and girls from at least eight children’s homes, took children swimming and on holidays and used them as golf caddies.
Carney also abused the children during the 1970s and ’80s as part of a scout troop. He used his state of the art video player to lure children to his house to watch movies.
One garda did investigate complaints and got them into court. However, the press were kept away as Carney pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault and got probation.
Six families were paid compo and Carney was soon back at work.
For a while he ran a guesthouse in the famous Scottish town of St Andrew’s, but moved when his marriage collapsed.
In 2013 he was extradited back to Ireland to face 34 charges of indecent assault on eight males and two females.
In 1992, Carney was defrocked after church authorities convicted him under canon law of child sex abuse.
