Mary McAleese’s younger brother has called on the British government to hold a swift inquiry into a priest who abused him and others at a school.

Clem Leneghan has said that many people both at St Colman’s College in Newry, Co Down, and the diocese of Dromore knew about Father Malachy Finnegan’s actions and failed to act. In a statement yesterday, he called on all those who knew about the abuse to come forward to the PSNI.
