THE defamed priest at the centre of the Prime Time Investigates debacle says he doesn’t want anyone at the station to lose their job.

Fr Kevin Reynolds (right), who was falsely accused of fathering a child while working in Kenya, says he is now keen to put the entire saga behind him.

“The one thing I will say is I don’t want to see anyone losing jobs from this,” he said in the wake of a staffing shake-up at RTE.

“I have no hang-ups, no grievances and no ill will towards anybody,” he continued. “The only road to pursue is the road to forgiveness. I’m a priest, that is it for me.”
