IRELAND
Limerick Leader
Donal O’Regan13 May 2016
A PRIEST has stepped aside from ministry following a child sex abuse allegation in County Limerick.
The Limerick Leader understands the alleged victim only came forward to gardai in recent months.
The garda investigation centres around sexual abuse claims from the early 1990s when the boy was aged 11 or 12, it is believed.
The priest, who is no longer ministering in the county, was living and working in east Limerick at the time.
It is thought that the complainant is now in his late thirties and resides in Limerick. A file has been prepared for the DPP.
