IRELAND -- A Catholic priest fighting extradition to Ireland over accusations he raped a 15 year old boy in Galway 40 years ago could be in custody as early as next Wednesday.

82 year old Fr Francis Markey could be sent back here after a US judge blocked attempts to halt his extradition.

Fr Markey is currently fighting his extradition from South Bend, Indiana in the US courts.

He's accused of raping the alleged victim after the funeral of the boy's father in Galway in 1968.
