Rape suspect stayed in parish priest’s house

A PARISH priest in Co Fermanagh was suspended from pastoral duties after it was discovered that a man, suspected of child abduction and three counts of rape in Liverpool, stayed at the priests’ parochial house.

Last night, the priest was questioned by detectives on Merseyside.

Earlier, the Bishop of Clogher Dr Joseph Duffy confirmed that Roslea-based Fr Jeremiah McGrath was suspended from pastoral duties until further notice.
