Category:Archbishops of Dublin

Archbishop of Dublin is an episcopal title in Ireland which takes its name after the city of Dublin. The Diocese of Dublin per se is not considered to have begun until 1038. When formal organised dioceses began to emerge in Ireland, all of the current Diocese of Dublin, and more, was comprised within the Diocese of Glendalough. At the synod of Kells in 1152, the metropolitan provinces of Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam, were created which were roughly co-extensive with their contemporary civil counterparts. Following the Reformation, there were parallel successions to the title in the Roman Catholic Church and the newly established Protestant church – the Church of Ireland.
