A British solicitor who represents 176 victims of Jimmy Savile is calling on authorities to 'dig deeper' into his activities in Ireland.

The Health and Children's Ministers are already due to discuss the time the broadcaster spent here around 40 years ago.

The Central Remedial Clinic (CRC) - which was one of the places he visited in the 1970s - has previously said it was unaware of any allegations against him.

He was last in Ireland in 2001 for a visit to the CRC.

In a statement, the CRC said it was "appalled by the contents of the reports", adding "to the best of our knowledge at no time, has the CRC ever been made aware of any allegations or any incidents involving inappropriate or criminal behaviour concerning Jimmy Saville, neither during, nor after, his involvement with the CRC".

They are urging anyone who has any suspicions, allegations, complaints or knowledge of incidents involving inappropriate or criminal behaviour concerning Saville to contact the relevant authorities or the CRC.

A series of reports were published in the UK yesterday outlining his sex attacks at 28 NHS hospitals. They showed his ranged in age from five to 75 and that they included men, women, boys and girls.

Staff were told about some of the incidents at Leeds General Infirmary, but the allegations were not reported to hospital bosses, the report found.

At Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, where there were 11 allegations, Savile was allowed to watch and make inappropriate remarks as female patients stripped to take a bath.

The reports found "incredibly harrowing and disturbing" allegations from a witness that Savile had boasted about sexually abusing bodies in the Leeds Hospital mortuary.

Two unrelated witnesses told the inquiry that he wore huge rings made from the glass eyes of deceased patients at the hospital.

Richard Scorer works for a firm which represents some of those he abused. He told Newstalk Breakfast he would be surprised if some victims did not have Irish connections.
