Derry sees spate of sexual abuse allegations against priests
One of the latest involves a priest who has stood down while a police inquiry is carried out, Catholic Bishop of Derry Dr Seamus Hegarty confirmed.
The complaints, which span a 50-year period, were disclosed in a statement following the shocking levels of clerical abuse uncovered in Ferns. The damning dossier confirmed more than 100 allegations involving priests in Co Wexford over 40 years.
