The Irish hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church will meet next month to discuss the recent controversy surrounding St Patrick’s seminary.

It follows allegations of a so-called gay sub-culture among trainee priests at the college, as reports emerged some seminarians were found using a gay dating app.

The Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has opted to send three seminarians to train in Rome over Maynooth, while the college continues to refute the allegations.
