A FORMER administrator of St Peter’s Cathedral in Belfast has been interviewed by police over an alleged sexual assault.
It is understood the allegation against Father Hugh Kennedy is historical in nature and does not involve a child.
The 59-year-old cleric has been been suspended from ministry while the matter is investigated.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Down and Connor said it had been informed that the PSNI had “initiated an investigation into an alleged incident of an historical adult nature involving a priest”.
