A former senior dean at St Patrick’s College Maynooth said he has a sense of “déjà vu” when reading of the current culture at the college and that he was “shafted” by his superiors when he raised concerns about complaints made against a vice-president there in the 1980s.

The former president of Maynooth College is to meet a Government-appointed lawyer this week to discuss allegations made against the former president of the college, Monsignor Micheal Ledwith.
