Synopsis

The many reforms needed in the Catholic Church in Ireland include restructuring its 26 dioceses. Their boundaries, unchanged since they were arranged in the twelfth century, no longer match the distribution of the Catholic population. Their disproportion is often spectacular: the archdiocese of Dublin, for instance, has a Catholic population greater than the combined populations of the 13 least populous dioceses. To understand what is at stake and to sketch out a probable way forward is possible only by calling on a range of skills and approaches. History, geography, theology, canon law, pastoral planning all have something to contribute as has the experience of the church in other countries and traditions.
