Meeting over indecent images at Communion 'inconclusive'

The Catholic Church is describing as "inconclusive", a meeting last night between parents in the Parish of Pomeroy in Co. Tyrone and representatives of the Archdiocese of Armagh, to discuss an incident involving a local priest last month.

The meeting was called after indecent images were projected onto a screen during a power-point presentation that Father McVeigh was giving at a meeting for parents in preparation for First Holy Communion.

Father Martin McVeigh, who was granted temporary leave by Cardinal Seán Brady at his own request, said he had no knowledge of the images.

It is understood that the PSNI has indicated no crime was committed.

A statement from the Catholic Church has said a further meeting will be held at a later date.
