School: John McClean was a teacher at Terenure College
Since then four civil actions have been filed, adding to five others already lodged with the High Court.
Dave Coleman of Coleman Legal Partners, which is representing some of McClean’s victims, said he expected the number of cases to grow.
“More people are coming forward to seek recompense for what happened to them,” he said.
For three decades McClean was an English and drama teacher, who also coached rugby, but he left the school in 1996 after allegations were made against him and took up a role coaching rugby at UCD.
