Church of Ireland Bishops
| Anglicanism portal |
The Church of Ireland title was formed when the bishopric of Cork, Cloyne and Ross was separated in 1638 into bishopric of Cork and Ross and the bishopric of Cloyne. They were reunited in 1660, but again were separated in 1679. Since 1835, the sees of Cork, Cloyne and Ross have again been reunited under one bishop.
