A 70-year-old retired priest has been found guilty of an indecent assault on a young boy at a boarding school in Cork in 1979.

Fr Tadhg Ó Dalaigh, with an address in Woodview, Mount Merrion Blackrock Co Dublin was found guilty by a unanimous decision.

The jury of ten men and two women at Cork Circuit Criminal Court found him guilty of the sexual assault of the then 16-year-boy old while he was a teacher at Coláiste Chroí Naofa in Carrignavar, County Cork.

The court had been told Fr Ó Dalaigh assaulted the boy while he was in the sick bay at the boarding school between March and April 1979.
