01 SEPTEMBER 2013
A west Belfast priest who stood down from duties amid claims about his conduct has returned to ministry after being cleared by a church probe.
Father Hugh Kennedy had already been told that no criminal prosecution would be taken against him.
The cleric agreed to temporarily stop working in St Peter’s Cathedral in 2011 while church authorities passed details of the claims to the police and social services to investigate.
Specific allegations were not outlined, but at the time Fr Kennedy issued a statement insisting he was not a child molester.
