The findings of the broadcasting watchdog's investigation into the defamation of a Galway priest by RTE are to be made public next week.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland met yesterday to consider the findings of an investigation into the Prime Time Investigates programme, A Mission to Pray, which wrongly claimed that Ahascragh priest Fr Kevin Reynolds had fathered a child while on mission in Africa.

A subsequent paternity test proved that the Galway priest was not the child's father.
