A priest has denied indecently assaulting a woman 20 years ago.

Fr Eugene Boland, whose address was given on court papers as Parochial House, Killyclogher Road, Omagh, denied five charges of indecent assault alleged to have occured between June 28, 1990 and June 30, 1992.

The 65-year-old, who appeared in the dock in his collar, replied “not guilty” as each of the charges were put to him.

Derry Crown Court heard the trial, which is expected to last one week, had been listed for next month.
