A notorious paedophile former Catholic priest has been convicted for the fifth time of abusing children.
Daniel Curran (64), of Bryansford Avenue, Newcastle, Co Down, appeared in the dock of Downpatrick Crown Court where he admitted the abuse.
Defence counsel Jim Gallagher QC asked Judge Piers Grant that Curran be re-arraigned on two charges he faced dating back almost 25 years.
Curran, dressed in a long green overcoat and wearing glasses, pleaded guilty to one count of gross indecency towards a male child and also admitted a single charge of indecent assault on the same victim who is now aged 31.
