The case against a priest accused of indecently assaulting a student in a school toilet on an unknown date in the mid-1980s was put back for more evidence on the complaint to be supplied to the defence.

The case against Liam O’Brien, aged 66, of Woodview, Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Dublin, was before Cork District Court yesterday for trial.

He faces a single count of indecent assault at Coláiste An Chroí Naofa, Carraig Na Bhfear, in Co Cork, in the mid-1980s.
