A FORMER priest, who was extradited from the UK to stand trial on 34 child sex abuse charges, was remanded in custody by a court in Dublin today.
The 62-year-old was brought back to Ireland yesterday (THUR) afternoon to face a hearing at Dublin District Court where an order was made banning the news media from naming him in connection with the historic allegations.
The ex-priest is accused of indecent assault of eight boys and two girls, mostly in Dublin, in the 1970s and in the eighties.
Detective Garda Anthony Maloney of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation told Judge Hugh O’Donnell that the man was arrested on foot of 34 warrants at Dublin Airport yesterday (THUR) afternoon.
