* turned 75 on 6th. June 2015 - many wondering why he has not been yet replaced as no shortage of conservatives in the midlands/west of Ireland to succeed - possible amalgamation of diocese(s) is being touted with a bishop already in situ in other diocese to which it may be co-joined so therefore an auxiliary is being considered
