A DISTRICT judge yesterday adjourned for two weeks the court appearance of a 65-year-old priest accused of committing a number of indecent assault offences against a female.

Fr Eugene Boland, a native of Moville in Co Donegal, whose address was given as the Parochial House, Killyclogher Road, Omagh, Co Tyrone, is alleged to have committed the offences between June 1990 and June 1992.

A preliminary enquiry hearing for Fr Boland, who since his ordination in 1973 has served in parishes on both sides of the Border in the Derry diocese, was listed for the Magistrate’s Court in Derry yesterday.
