Concerns brought to the diocese and reported to the gardaí, statement says
Dublin Archdiocese statement said standing aside “does not imply the truth or falsehood”
A parish priest in Dublin has voluntarily stood down from his duties due to child safeguarding concerns elsewhere a number of decades ago.
In a brief statement this afternoon the Dublin Archdiocese said that “in line with Church Policy on Safeguarding Children, a parish priest of Dublin has voluntarily stood aside from his position because of concerns brought to the diocese and reported to the gardaí. The information received relates to several decades ago and is not connected to the parish.”
