New questions are being asked about the link between the NSW Attorney-General and a retired Catholic priest who allegedly abused a number of female children during his time in the church.
Father Finian Egan’s more than 50 years as a priest took him to at least half a dozen churches in and around Sydney.
But the priest’s service in the Catholic church came to an end when a number of women came forward to accuse him of abusing them when they were children.
Within weeks of 7.30 airing a series of stories on Father Egan, at least five people had gone to police and a widespread investigation was underway.
