A widely-reported allegation that a Maynooth seminarian discovered two student priests having sex together in the college was untrue, according to a man who brought the complaint to the seminary authorities.
Mainstream and Catholic media have reported that a seminarian, who has remained anonymous, was expelled after he reported finding two students in bed together.
Francis McLoughlin, who says he lodged the complaint with a fellow student on behalf of the anonymous seminarian, told The Sunday Times he now accepts it was a “misunderstanding”.
