A Northern Ireland priest who was put on gardening leave by the Catholic Church after getting a parishioner pregnant has made a return to public life.
Fr Ciaran Dallat quit his post at St Peter’s Cathedral in west Belfast in March after the woman who later miscarried his baby revealed her story to Sunday Life.
The 52-year-old cleric announced he was undertaking “spiritual guidance” to “repair the damage and hurt” he had caused.
But after eight months out of the spotlight the priest has started stepping out in public again.
