Priest faces extradition from US

One of the offences was alleged to have happened at Lough Derg

An Irish priest, who served in the diocese of Clogher, is facing US extradition proceedings to face child sex abuse charges in Ireland.

Father Francis Markey, 81, was arrested at his home in South Bend, Indiana.

He is wanted by Irish police for questioning about offences against a 15-year-old boy in the late 1960s.

He is in custody in America after appearing in court. The offences allegedly took place at Lough Derg in County Donegal and in County Galway.

The diocese of Clogher covers Fermanagh, Tyrone, Donegal and Monaghan.
