Clare priest to make statement about newspaper articles

A well-known Co Clare priest is promising to make a statement later following articles written about him in a tabloid newspaper this morning.

The Sun has published photographs of Fr Michael Hogan that it says were displayed on a gay website.

The photos show Fr Hogan, the parish priest of Feakle, posing in his underpants.

When contacted this morning, the priest said he was aware of the story, but had yet to see the paper for himself and would make a statement on its content later.
