The priest has voluntarily stepped aside from his position in the Diocese of Kilmore while the investigation is carried out.

The details of the allegation are not clear, however, in a statement Bishop Leo O’Reilly says it relates to events which took place a considerable time ago.

And he says it is important to stress that the priest enjoys the right to the presumption of innocence while the investigation is underway.
