He is challenging the severity of a 16-year sentence
The so-called ‘singing priest’ Tony Walsh is due in court to appeal against sentences imposed on him for the rape and sexual abuse of young boys in the 1970s and 1980s.
Mr. Walsh was an Elvis impersonator in the well known ‘All Priests Show’ that used to travel around Ireland.
The serial sexual abuser was later defrocked.
In 2010 he was handed down a 16-year sentence for the rape and indecent assault of young boys in the 70s and 80s.
