A GROUP of Pomeroy parishioners have rallied behind their parish priest who is embroiled in an indecent images scandal.
Father Martin McVeigh remains at the centre of a media storm after the pictures appeared on a projector to parents during a presentation at St Mary’s Primary School in the village.
While some parishioners have called on the priest to be suspended, another group has emerged to accuse elements of the media of portraying Fr McVeigh in a harsh light.
A spokesperson for the group supporting Fr McVeigh listed the priest’s achievements, including the building of an adoration chapel which is attended by over 100 people each week to pray and reflect.
