Would this article be better renamed "Archbishop of Dublin"? I think you will find that this person is more often know by this title. Also he is Primate of Ireland because he is Archbishop of Dublin, not vice versa. Mustafa Bevi 16:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


Perhaps the ideal situation would be the following:

The current Primate of All Ireland article would be moved to the latter name; this page's content would be split between the two pages as appropriate. Doops | talk 05:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


This is all a total mess. We should have separate articles on the Catholic and CoI archbishops, and then a separate article on the term Primate of Ireland (or, as you suggest, on both Primate terms). john k 20:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Seperate articles is the way to go. -- SECisek 21:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC).

Also agree. Archbishop is the primary role in both denominations. So 2 x Archbishop articles, and Primate separately (1-2 articles). The materials here is not bad, and will give a good start to both. 217.118.66.58 04:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

We have discussed this for months, somebody be bold. -- SECisek (talk) 10:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

And I agree too, and it is time enough to act. I will make the two Archbishop articles, and initially one article on the two Primates, with each separate title directed there (as otherwise, to be frank, I think each Primate article would mostly duplicate the other). Then all can be polished and upgraded. SeoR (talk) 07:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New structure

Archbishop articles made, ready for improvement (overlap between these articles and those of the dioceses probably a good starting point). Will cut the Primate article down, and raise on the Primate of All Ireland talk page the question of a merger, both this afternoon. SeoR (talk) 08:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
