Sentencing has been adjourned in the case of a 71-year-old priest who indecently assaulted four pupils in the 70s and 80s.

Ronald Bennett of Dun Mhuire, Seafield Road, Killiney is a member of the Franciscan Order.

The court heard he gave his victims sweets after the assaults.

The Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard Bennet had brought the youths into his office on various dates between 1974 and 1981 and molested them.

As he did so he told them they were natural, normal boys.

Bennett has pleaded guilty to the sexual abuse which occurred at Gormanstown College in County Meath.

He is due to be sentenced on the July 26.
