In the Church of Ireland, although not in the Roman Catholic Church, the
bishopric of Waterford and Lismore was united to the
archbishopric of Cashel and Emly from 14 August 1833. On the death of Archbishop Laurence of Cashel in 1838, the
Province of Cashel was united to the
Province of Dublin. The
see ceased to be an archbishopric becoming instead the bishopric of Cashel and Waterford. In 1977, the diocese was split; the former dioceses of Cashel, Waterford and Lismore merged with the "United Dioceses of Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin" to become the
United Dioceses of Cashel and Ossory. The remaining part - the former diocese of Emly - was merged with
Diocese of Limerick and Killaloe. ==List of bishops==
