THE case of a former priest awaiting trial on historic child sex abuse charges has been adjourned for two weeks.
William Carney, aged 63, who is currently of no fixed abode, is charged with 34 counts of indecent assault of eight boys and two girls, at locations in Dublin and north east Leinster from 1969 until 1989.
Today at Cloverhill District Court, Judge Grainne Malone further remanded him in custody with consent to bail. His next hearing will take place at the same court on June 19th.
A book of evidence has yet to be served on Mr Carney, who is to face a Circuit Court trial.
At an earlier stage Judge Malone had lifted an earlier gag order prohibiting the news media from naming the 63-year-old who currently has no fixed address.
