The notorious paedophile priest Father Eugene Greene has died.
Father Eugene Greene was jailed for 12 years at Donegal Circuit Court in 2000 when he pleaded guilty to 41 sample charges of sexual assault against 26 children in Donegal parishes between 1965 and 1982.
He had been charged on over 100 counts. The trial heard that many of his victims were altar boys, who suffered repeated assault and buggery.
Sentencing him, Judge Matthew Deery noted some of his victims had turned to drink to try to erase the pain of their childhood abuse which he described as “horrific”.
It has not been confirmed when Father Eugene Greene passed away.
