A priest has claimed scenes in an episode of Fair City on Sunday night 'disrespected' the Catholic faith.
It relates to a confession scene, where one character revealed she had a baby with a priest following a one-night stand many years previously.
Fr Kevin McNamara, parish priest of Moyvane in Kerry, says the scripting was wrong, and was critical of alcohol and cigarettes being used in a church.

He adds it isn't the first time the programme has disrespected the faith.
"The question I would pose; why should Catholics continue to pay their TV licence to a station which continually and deliberately shows a lack of knowledge and respect for Catholic faith and sacred doctrine."
