A priest at the centre of the Cloyne Report’s largest chapter is the latest cleric to threaten legal action against his accusers.
The priest – referred to as Fr Ronat in the lengthy report into clerical sex abuse in the Cork diocese – has made threats to sue several people including victims who have texted him.
A report in the Irish Independent states that the priest has made contact with police and is considering the legal action.
He has complained to police of a ‘two-year campaign of personal abuse’ which included public cries of ‘paedophile’ in his direction.
But one alleged victim has already told the priest ‘See you in court’.
