A LIMERICK priest has stepped aside from his ministry and duties pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of child abuse.
The issues alleged against the priest who is currently attached to a parish in county Limerick relate to the mid nineties when he was located in a different part of the diocese.
Gardai say they are aware of the matter but they have not yet received a complaint to instigate an investigation.
However, the church, who were made aware of the allegations via a third-party, is to proceed with its own inquiry into the alleged abuse.
