Former St Bede's College priest Rowan Donoghue admitted sexually abusing four boys at the school between 1996 and 2000.

St Bede's College is refusing to release information about an independent investigation into historical sexual abuse at the school citing "legal professional privilege".

Chief Victims Advisor Ruth Money says it's "beyond disappointing that St Bede's maintains its obstructive position".

RNZ earlier revealed that former priest Rowan Donoghue had admitted sexually abusing four boys at the school between 1996 and 2000.
