A man who claims to have "nearly killed a priest" with his bare hands to stop an attempted sexual assault is calling on the Government to widen the scope of its historical state abuse inquiry.
If faith-based institutions were to be incorporated into the inquiry, the Catholic Church said it would "co-operate whole-heartedly".
Chris Travers, husband of former Green Party chief of staff Deborah Morris-Travers, has revealed in a Facebook post that he "choked" his alleged abuser, a Catholic priest.
