A former priest was served with a book of evidence yesterday and has been returned for trial on historic child sex abuse charges.
William Carney, aged 63, who is currently of no fixed abode, is to stand trial on 34 counts of indecent assault of eight boys and two girls, at locations in Dublin and north east Leinster from 1969 until 1989.
The DPP had directed that he must face trial on indictment.
Yesterday at Cloverhill District Court, the State served him with a book of evidence and Judge Grainne Malone then made an order sending Mr Carney forward for trial.
