Suspended term for priest who abused teen
Brendan Wrixon, 74, was a priest in North Cork at the time and was acting as confessor during a religious workshop organised in Mallow by the Diocese of Cloyne.
Judge Seán O Donnabháin judge said to Wrixon: “You violated not only the laws of the country, but your own religious view and whatever tenets you believed in. I hope that the exposure of the offence and all the evidence will be a vindication of the victim.
