The priest has stepped aside voluntarily during the investigation
A Catholic diocese in Northern Ireland has confirmed that one of its
priests has voluntarily stepped aside while police investigate an
abuse allegation.
In a statement, Down and Connor Diocese said it was "aware of an
allegation against a priest relating to the early 1970s".
It added that the priest denies the allegation.
It is understood the priest who has stepped aside is Father Sean
Cahill who had been working in Castlewellan.
The diocese said it was "cooperating fully with the police from the
public protection unit and social services in accordance with the
inter-agency forum for the sharing of information".
"The diocese, as is its practise in such cases, has put into effect
child safeguarding measures approved by the inter-agency forum and
with the full cooperation of the priest.
"Because the matter is being investigated by the civil authorities it
would be inappropriate for the diocese to comment further," the
statement said.
