St. MacCairthinn founded the See of Clogher
Clogher · townland · Monaghan
The Annals record St. MacCairthinn as the founder of the See of Clogher and Ailill as another early bishop who died in 869, both preceding the Synod of Rathbreasil in 1110 that first defined diocesan boundaries.

A Diocese has been defined by Dr. Lawlor, Dean of St. Patrick's, as " the sphere of a Bishop's government and activity. " It is at all events the territory, with definite boundaries, over which a Bishop exercises jurisdiction. That there was any " Diocese " of Clogher in this sense before the Synod of Rathbreasil in IIIO, is not clear. That is not the same as saying there is no evidence that there was a See (i.e., the seat or place from which a Bishop exercised jurisdiction) of Clogher before that date, A.R.C. writer, Rev. Thomas Gogarty, in an Article in Irish Theol. Quarterly, July, 1909, on The Boundaries of Some Irish Dioceses, said he was " inclined to lay down the year 1128 or 1129 as the year in which the Seeoi Clogher was founded and to conclude " that Cinaeth O'Boyle, who d. 1135 was " its first Canonically consecrated bishop." But the Annals give at least two bishops -" of Clogher " before that date S. MacCairthinn, who founded the See, and Ailill who d. 869. If the word " Diocese " were substituted therefore for the word " See " (italicised by me) the first part of the statement would probably be correct.

Yet his vacating this Preb. in 1692, when the Dean of Limerick Was appointed, points to the identity of the Dean and Prec., Who must have been an old man before 1704, as he is only able to sign a Parliamentary Paper with his mark.

Shirley says that the original Church at Churohhlll or Mullanadde on the E. side of the lake of Muckno, was the parish Church till the 1 7th cent., and that in 1690, William Lord Blaney erected a Chapel near his Castle, the nucleus off the present Church, which was rebuilt in 1811 on another site above the old Chapel and enlarged in 1859. But this does not agree with the account given in the B. V. 1622, which was contemporary and must be preferred. The Eccl. Com. Report 1867, says the Ecol.
