The trial of a priest accused of indecent assault, which was due to begin today at Dungannon Crown Court, has been adjourned.

The court heard he could not be present due to a sensitive personal matter.

Canon Patrick McEntee, with an address at Esker Road, Dromore, Co Tyrone, is accused of indecently assaulting two males in the 1980s.

He was a former teacher in St Michael's College Enniskillen.

The case is due to be mentioned again on Thursday morning.

Canon McEntee remains on continuing bail.
