The Catholic Church is to make a full apology to a priest wrongly accused of child protection issues.
Fr Oliver Brennan was reinstated as a parish priest in Louth on Saturday night after two years under investigation.
The 67-year-old had voluntarily stepped down immediately as parish priest of Blackrock and Haggardstown in August 2010 when the allegation was made.
The Sunday Independent reports that a police investigation could find no evidence against Fr Brennan.
The paper says the “allegations were totally lacking in credibility.”
