Well I bored the socks of everyone this morning at tea break telling them the history of Kilfenora and why it has an apostolic administrator (the Bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh) instead of just being joined in the one diocese.
It's part of the province of Cashel and they are part of Tuam.
Interesting.
Of course this was famously recounted by the then Bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh and Apostolic Administrator of Kilfenora at the racetrack before the Pope arrived in October 1979, along with his sidekick (the Bishop's, not the Pope's) - Bishop Eamon Casey and Father (x2) Michael Cleary.
