A retired priest living in Ireland has been quizzed by cops after three women claimed he sexually abused them as children in the UK.

Canon Mortimer Stanley, 82, is being investigated by British police over alleged attacks on children over a 20-year period.

The cleric retired to sleepy Ballybunion, Co Kerry, in 2002 where he has been living for more than a decade.

His home on Doon Road in the town is 250 yards away from St Joseph’s secondary school where more than 200 children attend.
