Police have “apologised” for refusing to accept a report of an alleged crime concerning the Fr Malachy Finegan child abuse scandal, a rights campaigner has said.

Amnesty International’s Patrick Corrigan said police phoned him to apologise and offer assurances that the issue he raised would form part of their investigations.

Last week Mr Corrigan asked the PSNI to examine concerns that some senior Catholic Church figures had failed to tell police about child sex abuse allegations against Finegan.
