Archdeacon of Kilmore

The Archdeacon of Kilmore is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh.[1]

The archdeaconry can trace its history from Maelisa Mac Gillco Erain, the earliest known incumbent, who died in 1199,[2] to the current incumbent, Canon Ian W. Horner (incumbent Rector of Bailieborough group of parishes since 2016), who succeeded Canon Craig McCauley in 2023.[3][4] Archdeacon Horner is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy [5] within his half of the Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh.
