A FORMER Termonfeckin and Drogheda based priest has been caught up in a storm over lewd pictures appearing in a First Communion presentation.

Fr. Martin Mcveigh was beginning a talk at a school in Pomeroy, Co. Tyrone, when the images were accidently shown on the screen. The presentation was abandoned. Fr Mcveigh, who is from Dungannon, was ordained in 1976 and served as curate in Termonfeckin parish from September 1976 to 1981.

He moved to Drogheda in 1981 and spent five years there.

He later went to Westminster in London and back to Pomeroy where he is presently based.
