 Brendan Smyth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brendan Smyth (1927–1997) was a member of the Norbertine order of Catholic religious.
The Norbertines, also known as the Premonstratensians, which Smyth had joined in 1945, were aware of Smyth's crimes as early as the late 1940s, yet they failed to report him to either the Garda Síochána (the Republic of Ireland's police force) or the Royal Ulster Constabulary (the RUC, the police force in Northern Ireland).
When Smyth died in prison in 1997, the Norbertines held his funeral early in the morning, and covered his grave with concrete to deter vandalism.

BRENDAN SMYTH, ACT OPPOSITION LEADER: What we're doing here is using taxpayers' money at a taxpayer-funded event for the furtherance of the causes of the ALP and the ACTU, and I think that's inappropriate.

In one of the worst cases of active paedophilia in the priesthood, Smyth systematically raped hundreds of children in parishes in Belfast, Dublin and the United States.
In some cases, the Order did not inform the diocesan bishop in Ireland or the United States that the priest they had supplied to his diocese had a history of paedophilia and should be kept away from children.
When Smyth some years later died in prison, the Norbertines felt it necessary to hold his funeral late at night, with his grave then covered in cement, to avoid drawing abusive or vandalise the grave.
