A priest has been placed on indefinite leave by his diocese after posting videos on social media that featured innuendo and joked about playing songs like 'Highway to Hell' at a funeral Mass.

In a statement to be read to parishioners in Gort, Co Galway, this weekend, Bishop Brendan Kelly refers to “upsetting information” regarding 44-year-old curate Fr Michael King.
