The Diocese of Ferns has reportedly reached a €200,000 settlement with a man who was sexually abused while a student priest in Wexford town.
Reports this morning said the payment was made earlier this year to a local priest who alleges he was abused by Fr Donal Collins, the former president of St Peter's seminary in Wexford.
Fr Collins was jailed for a year in 1999 for sexually assaulting four boys in the 1970s.
