Sexual Abuse Victims Should Alert Diocese - Bishop of Kilmore Belfast Telegraph September 16, 2007 http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/ireland/article2968582.ece The Bishop of Kilmore has encouraged anyone with any concerns in relation to sexual abuse to come forward. It comes following yesterday's revelation that a priest in the Diocese has stepped down from his duties, following an allegation that he sexually abused a child. It is understood the allegation was made by a 15-year-old who lives in the Diocese of Kilmore - which includes parts of counties Cavan, Leitrim, Meath and Fermanagh. Gardai have confirmed that an investigation is underway and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. In a statement issued yesterday Bishop Leo O' Reilly said the safety of children is at all times of paramount importance in his Diocese. |
