A PRIEST who flashed gay porn images at a First Communion meeting has a new job.
Fr Martin McVeigh took a sabbatical after exposing his shocked flock to the graphic pictures a year ago. The cleric insisted the snaps — which popped up in a Powerpoint presentation to primary school parents in Pomeroy, Co Tyrone — were not his.
And now he has been appointed parish priest in Clogherhead, Co Louth, in a move that has angered some people.
One parishioner said: “He wants us to give him a chance and he seems to be sincere but we are still very angry at the way this happened.”
The congregation was told by Cardinal Sean Brady that Fr McVeigh was going to be their new parish priest this month.
