History

The Holy See, as the central government of the Catholic Church[1] from early Christian times[2] (as distinct from the State of Vatican City, which came into existence in 1929),[3] has full diplomatic ties with Ireland as well as many other countries worldwide. As of 2017 the apostolic nuncio to Ireland is Archbishop Luis Mariano Montemayor.[4] The nuncio's residence and office, the nunciature, is at Navan Road, Dublin, Ireland.[5] Diplomatic relations were established between Ireland, then called the Irish Free State, and the Holy See were established on 29 November 1929.[6]
