A FORMER priest awaiting trial on historic child sex-abuse charges does not have the right to anonymity, a judge has ruled.
William Carney is charged with 34 counts of indecent assault of eight boys and two girls at locations in Dublin and north-east Leinster from 1969 until 1989.
At Cloverhill District Court yesterday, Judge Grainne Malone lifted an earlier gagging order that prohibited the news media from naming the 62-year-old, who currently has no fixed address.
Her ruling followed submissions from lawyers for RTE, the ‘Irish Times’, the Irish Independent and Associated Newspapers, which publishes the ‘Irish Daily Mail’.
