Five men abused by paedophile priest awarded £1.2m

Five men who claimed a paedophile priest groomed and abused them at a school in Newry are to receive a combined total of more than £1.2 million in damages.

The final settlements were reached in their High Court action over historic physical and serious sexual assaults inflicted by the late Fr Malachy Finegan.

The men will also be given a written apology from the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland on behalf of the Diocese of Dromore, their lawyer said.

The men, who cannot be identified, sued the Diocese of Dromore and the board of governors at St Colman’s College over failures to protect them from the priest.
