Dermot Farrell will be installed as the Archbishop of Dublin this morning (Tuesday, 2nd February).
It will happen with a ceremony at St Mary’s Pro Cathedral at 10:30am.
Archbishop Farrell, who left the role of Bishop of Ossory to take up this position, will be Principal Celebrant and will be joined by his predecessor Archbishop Diarmuid Martin and His Excellency Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo, Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland.
