Church head ‘outraged’ disabled man told to leave Mass

THE head of a Dominican church has apologised to an intellectually disabled young man who was told to leave Mass because he was making too much noise.

Fr Dominic Browne outraged members of the congregation of Black Abbey in Kilkenny when he stopped Mass on Sunday evening and said he could not go on until the young man left the church.

Black Abbey prior Anthony Morris yesterday said he wanted to “apologise unreservedly” to the young man and to those who were with him.
