Anthony Egan (59) was arrested by gardai investigating the alleged theft of €500,000 from his religious order.
He was released without charge after being questioned for a number of hours at Mountjoy Garda Station yesterday about the alleged offence before being freed from custody.
The Herald reveals that Fr Egan was previously cleared of criminal charges in February 2012 after he was alleged to have falsely advertised his services as a psychiatrist in a national newspaper.
In this new case, a file is now being prepared by the DPP in relation to a complaint by a senior clergyman about the alleged thefts, which are claimed to have taken place over a 13-year period.
