No new claims of sex abuse found

AN investigation of the final ministry of deceased paedophile priest Fr Noel Reynolds has found no new allegations of child sex abuse.

The National Rehabilitation Hospital recently completed a review of all patients who came in contact with Fr Reynolds when he served as a chaplain at the Dun Laoghaire-based facility.

Fr Reynolds was assigned as chaplain to the NRH in 1997 because of concern voiced by parents in the priest’s previous parish in Glendalough, Co Wicklow.
