A former priest has been found guilty of indecently assaulting a secondary school student in the 1980s in the Republic of Ireland.

Henry Moloney worked at the time as a choirmaster and music teacher at Rockwell College, near Cashel, County Tipperary.

The 77-year-old, of Kimmage Manor, Dublin, was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on the schoolboy.

He had denied the charges.

The victim had told Clonmel Circuit Court how the abuse began near the start of a school year after Moloney asked him to join the choir.
