A PRELIMINARY Inquiry is to take place next month in the case of the Cappagh-based priest, Fr Eugene Boland, who faces four charges of indecently assaulting a female.

The case has been adjourned and the preliminary inquiry fixed for Magherafelt court on March 22 next.
Fr Boland, whose address is given as the Parochial House at Killyclogher Road, Omagh, stepped down as PP of Cappagh Parish last year when the investigation began.
