Fr Eugene Lewis, who was formally arraigned yesterday
A Dublin-based priest has denied sexually abusing three Co Fermangh girls on differing dates going back to the early 1960s.
In all, 75-year-old Fr Eugene Lewis with an address at Cypress Grove House, Templelogue in Dublin, was formally arraigned before Dungannon Crown Court on a total of 11 charges involving the girls, three sisters.
The charges allegedly involve the indecent assault of the three sisters.
No details surrounding the charges were given to Judge David McFarland who released Fr Lewis on continuing bail until December 17 for any legal applications in the case.
