The Diocese of Kilmore (Latin: Dioecesis Kilmorensis; Irish: Deoise na Cille Móire) is a Latin Church diocese which is mainly in the Republic of Ireland although a few parishes are in Northern Ireland. It is one of eight suffragan dioceses which are subject to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Armagh.[1][2]
On 29 June 2020, it was announced that Pope Francis had appointed Martin Hayes, a former priest of the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, as Bishop of Kilmore in succession to Philip Leo O'Reilly. He received episcopal ordination on 20 September 2020.[3]
