Michael Kieran (died 1869) was an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland from 1866 to 1869.[1][2][3]

Biography

Kieran was Parish Priest of Dundalk (1848–1869) and Dean of the Archdiocese of Armagh (1857–1866).[4] Following the death of Archbishop Joseph Dixon of Armagh, Kieran was Vicar Capitular of Armagh until elected archbishop by the Propaganda Fide on 30 July 1866.[1] The election was approved by Pope Pius IX on 30 September, and decreed on 6 November 1866.[1] He was consecrated at St. Patrick's Church, Dundalk by Cardinal Paul Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin on 3 February 1867.[1][2][3][4] As archbishop, Kieran made Dundalk his mensal parish.[4]

He died at his residence, Forthill, Dundalk, on 15 September 1869.[1][2][3] His remains are interred in front of Our Lady's altar in St. Patrick's Church, Dundalk.[4]

gollark: You can tell because it starts with "192.168", which is in one of the internal IP ranges or something like that.

gollark: That is also an internal IP.

gollark: ... that is an internal IP.

gollark: I host my site off a dynamic IP using the magic of dynamic DNS™. The main downsides of that are that there's some downtime when my IP updates, that my dynamic DNS provider is probably less reliable than a non-dynamic one, I can't really do things which require a static IP rather than just a static-ish domain, and I need to have a script run to update DNS which takes some nonzero amount of effort to install.
