The Bishop of Derry, Most. Rev, Dr. Seamus Hegarty, has addressed parishioners in a Co. Derry parish where a child sex abuse allegation has been made against the local parish priest.
It emerged last week that Fr. Patrick Crilly has been granted a leave of absence from his ministry in the south Derry parish of Desertmartin.
The priest, who denies any wrongdoing, requested permission to step aside while the matter is investigated by the police.
