Province of Armagh (Church of Ireland)

Province of Armagh (Church of Ireland)

The Province of Armagh, also called the "Northern Province", is one of the two ecclesiastical provinces that together form the modern Church of Ireland; the other is the Province of Dublin. Its more formal name has been the United Province of Armagh and Tuam since 1833 when the ancient Province of Tuam was merged with it. Its metropolitan bishop is the Archbishop of Armagh.

The Province of Armagh consists of seven dioceses, which cover all of Northern Ireland and, in the Republic of Ireland, the counties of Donegal, Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Leitrim, Sligo, Roscommon (except for its very south), Longford, Mayo and the northern half of County Galway. It covers approximately half of the island of Ireland.
