Irish News: Priest warns of internet dangers on Ronan Hughes anniversary

On the first anniversary of the death of Co Tyrone teenager Ronan Hughes, a priest has warned of the continued threat to young people from the dangers of the internet.

Benedict Fee dedicated his sermon on Sunday to the memory of the talented young GAA player.
