A meeting between Catholic hierarchy and Co Tyrone parishioners about a gay porn controversy has had an “inconclusive” outcome, the Catholic Communications Office said yesterday.

The office also said there would be no further comment from the hierarchy about the circumstances surrounding the accidental display of male homosexual pornographic images during a power-point display at St Mary’s Primary School in Pomeroy last month.

The parish priest, Fr Martin McVeigh, who is on voluntary “temporary” leave, has denied any knowledge of the images, which were contained on a memory stick he had been using as a display aide to a talk on Communion.

An audience of 26 parents, teachers and an eight-year-old boy were present when 16 separate images were displayed by the projector.
