Latin Rite Dioceses in Northern Ireland

The Catholic dioceses located in Northern Ireland are organised together with those in the Republic of Ireland, as the Catholic Church in Ireland was not divided when civil authority in Ireland was partitioned in the 1920s. All dioceses in Northern Ireland are part of the ecclesiastical province of Armagh. This province approximates the civil province of Ulster.

• The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Armagh is the primatial see of all Ireland. Its territory is partly located in Northern Ireland and partly in the Republic of Ireland. Suffragan dioceses located wholly or partly in Northern Ireland are:
  • Diocese of Clogher. While the cathedra is located in the Republic, part of its territory extends into the UK.
  • Diocese of Derry. While the cathedra is located in the UK, part of its territory extends into the Republic.
  • Diocese of Kilmore. While the cathedra is located in the Republic, part of its territory extends into the UK.

The following suffragans of Armagh are located only in the Republic of Ireland; no part is their territory is located in Northern Ireland.

• Diocese of Ardagh (united with the titular bishopric of Clonmacnois)
• Diocese of Meath
• Diocese of Raphoe

Eastern Catholic Dioceses in Great Britain
