	DPP Gets Garda File on Priest Rape Allegation Irish Independent January 17, 2006 http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=9&si=1542083&issue_id=13542 GARDAI have sent a file to the DPP following allegations that a priest raped a 24-year-old woman who went to him for advice after she became pregnant. Last October the Irish Independent revealed the priest was continuing to serve in the Tuam diocese despite the archbishop being aware of the garda investigation. The Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, was made aware of the allegations, but did not ask the priest to step aside when a garda investigation began. He said he believed he was "not putting other people at risk". However, he asked the priest to step aside when the allegations were revealed.
