PARISHIONERS are questioning the whereabouts of a Camden Town priest after police began investigating an allegation against him.
Father Dominic McKenna, 54, has not been seen at his Our Lady of Hal Church in Arlington Road for three weeks.
He has been moved to an undisclosed location by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor while police carry out their inquiries.
He was not returning calls at his home address yesterday (Wednesday).
A police spokesman said: “The Child Protection Unit at Hackney is investigating allegations made against a 54-year-old man from the Camden area in connection with incidents in the Hackney area in 1975. There have been no arrests at this stage.”

THE extent of the dirty tricks employed by the Town Hall to evict a community advice centre from their building in Camden Town – which is still empty more than one year later – is revealed in documents obtained by the New Journal.

He claimed drug addicts and anarchists had infiltrated the group of defiant charity workers fighting eviction from their council-owned headquarters, the New Journal can reveal.
The shocking claims were made days before the so-called ‘Siege Of Greenland Road’ came to an end in December 2003 when riot squad police stormed the headquarters of the Camden Town Neighbourhood Advice Centre where supporters were barricaded inside.
