| - Dominic Meak is the Priest (on sabbatical) brother of Gloria. Though he first appeared in the show during Series 9, like his sister, he too is meant to be a character that has spent time on the Chatsworth Estate and is known by the other residents. A mere day after first arriving back on the estate, Dominic was being hunted by the husband of a woman he slept with. Having drunk so much alcohol during the encounter, Dominic couldn't actually remember anything about it though the discovery of underwear and footprints on the wall gave him flashbacks. Meanwhile, the angry husband was angrily visiting every so often but Gloria and Dominic hid until he left, though not before breaking a window. Dominic eventually remembered that he had brought back two women to Gloria's for a three some but his sister was less than impressed. Though she joked and reminisced with him earlier, the broken window and lack of thought on Dominic's part made her serious and she sadly told him that something had to change and that it wasn't fair for him to bring trouble to her door. Dominic and Gloria later went to The Jockey where they noticed the husband who had been trying to track Dominic down. Dominic admitted defeat and offered to go outside with the man of his own free will, just outside the main room of the bar Dominic was badly beaten by the husbands of both the women he had slept with. Jamie Maguire made to go and rescue him, but Gloria stopped him, explaining that he had slept with the men's wives. Dominic revealed more about his year and a half forced sabbatical from the church to Frank Gallagher in Episode 8 of Series 9. He explained that he was caught having an affair with a 15 year old girl who later became pregnant though she went on to have a miscarriage. He stated that the girl could easily pass for 20, suggesting that Dominic thought her to be older than she was.
