No resolution following meeting between Church and parents in Pomeroy

The Catholic Church is describing as “inconclusive”, a meeting in Pomeroy last night.
The meeting, involving parents and representatives of the Archdiocese of Armagh, discussed 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’s understood that the PSNI has indicated no crime was committed.
An initial report from the church told the parents that Fr Mc Veigh had been exonerated, and would continue in office. However, that was not accepted.
A statement from the Catholic Church says a further meeting will be held at a later date.
