But this evening, according to the South Bend Tribune newspaper, he was ordered to pay bail of $10,000, to surrender his passport and to return to court on Thursday. He was also ordered to remain in the North Indiana/West Michigan area. Fr Markey is a priest of the diocese of Clogher and served in Co Monaghan between 1952 and 1975 when he was sent abroad to an addiction-treatment centre.
