75-year-old Fr Eugene Lewis, with an address at Cypress Grove House, Templelogue in Dublin, denies a total of 11 charges involving the girls.

The charges all allegedly involve the indecent assault of the three sisters beginning in the 1960's, and ending in the early 1970's.


The first three counts were allegedly committed between August 1963 and August 1965 against the first girl, who like her two sisters, cannot be identified.

The following seven charges, dating from May 1967 to September 1973 allegedly involved her sister, while the final count, against the third sister, was allegedly committed between April 1965 and April 1967.

It is expected that the trial of Fr Lewis before an Omagh Crown Court jury will last for a fortnight.
