The case against a priest who was charged with a single incident of indecent assault on a 14-year-old boy at a school in Co Cork in the 1980s has been dismissed.

Fr Liam O’Brien, of 66 Woodview, Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock in Dublin, had been charged with a single incident of indecent assault, while he was a teacher Coláiste an Chroí Naofa, Carraig na bhFear in Cork.

At Cork District Court this afternoon, Judge Tim Lucey said he could not find the defendant guilty beyond reasonable doubt and dismissed the charge.
