A PRIEST has stepped aside from his ministry pending the outcome of a church inquiry into an allegation of child abuse dating back to the mid-1990s.
The priest is currently serving in a rural part of Co Limerick but the issues relate to an allegation when he was based elsewhere. It’s understood that while gardai are aware of the issue they have not yet received a complaint. The church has proceeded with its own inquiry nonetheless.
