Police in Liverpool have been given more time to question a 63-year-old County Fermanagh priest.

Fr Jeremiah McGrath, whose parish is in Rosslea, was arrested on Thursday and taken to Merseyside, where police can now hold him until early on Saturday.

It is believed a man charged in England with child abduction and rape may have stayed at his parochial house.
