Woman to take DNA test to determine if she is Fr Michael Cleary’s daughter

An American woman who has claimed she is the daughter of priest Fr Michael Cleary has said she will take a DNA test to prove she is his child.

Felicia Irwin, who lives in Florida, was given up for adoption when she was a baby by her birth mother, Phyllis Hamilton.

The high-profile cleric, known as the Singing Priest, who died at the age of 60 in 1993, fathered two sons by Ms Hamilton.
