A CHURCH canonical court has recommended that the cleric at the centre of the Cloyne Report into child abuse allegations be dismissed from the priesthood.
The elderly cleric, only known by the pseudonyms ‘Fr Ronat’ and ‘Fr B’, was informed of the decision this week, the Irish Independent has learned.
The priest now has 15 days to appeal the recommendation.
The ruling followed a lengthy inquiry by the Church watchdog body which included a detailed interview session in a north Cork retreat centre last October.
