In an upcoming libel action by a priest RTE says it’s to stand over a Prime Time broadcast on alleged abuse of children by missionaries in Africa.

Fr Kevin Reynolds of the Mill Hill Missionaries claims the programme, aired last May, wrongly accused him of raping an underage girl and fathering her child.

The High Court has heard he’s offered to take a paternity test and RTE has agreed.

The broadcaster says it will be pleading justification in its defence.
