A priest who is currently in custody on a charge of attempted sexual communication with a child has been released into police custody for further questioning.

Fr Edward Gallagher, 56, of Orchard Park in Lifford, County Donegal, is charged with attempted sexual communication with a child on dates between 2 April and 17 April.

He appeared at Londonderry Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, where a police inspector said they wanted to to take him back into custody for three days to question him about seven possible new offences.

There was no objection from the priest’s defence team and District Judge Conor Heaney released him into police custody for a period of three days.
