Ex-Cloyne priest quizzed on sex abuse

GARDAÍ are preparing a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions after interviewing a retired priest about two allegations of sexual abuse.

The priest, who is in his 70s, was questioned by detectives after he voluntarily went to Mallow Garda station in County Cork to be interviewed about the allegations made by two women.

They separately made claims to gardaí a couple of months ago that they had been sexually abused by the priest.
