A judge has ordered a special sitting of the Circuit Court to hear a case against a nun facing 87 charges relating to the alleged sex abuse of primary school girls, writes Greg Harkin.
The woman appeared at Sligo Circuit Court yesterday in what is thought to be the first case of its kind in the State. Publication of her name has been banned.
Judge Rory McCabe listed the case for mention again on May 22.
Several of the nun’s alleged victims were in court for yesterday’s brief hearing.
