He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Tuam on 16 June 1991.^[1]

Monahan was appointed chaplain to Saint Jarlath's College and Assistant Diocesan Secretary of the Archdiocese of Tuam in 2006, before being appointed Diocesan Secretary in 2007, during which time he worked in the area of communications, promoting vocations, and editing the diocesan magazine, New Dawn. He was also appointed secretary of the diocesan finance committee, director of vocational pastoral care, and designate for child protection.^[5]

Monahan was appointed to the Council for Communications of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference in 2013.^[2]
