A PRIEST who was stood down from ministry following allegations of an
affair with a parishioner, has been nominated by the Diocese of Down
and Connor for a role as prison chaplain, to administer pastoral care to
prisoners.
Fr Ciaran Dallat (52) "stepped aside" in 2015 following claims he had a two year affair with a Co Down businesswoman. If appointed he would be the serving chaplain for all Maghaberry and Magilligan prisons as well as the detention centre at Hydebank Wood that houses both young offenders and female inmates.
