The Church of Ireland's diocesan system is based on the 900-year-old system set up by the Synod of Rathbreasail.
However in recent years, declining membership has led to consolidation into two provinces, and the mergers of some dioceses, especially in the south and west of the Island.
This injustice, which has been defended by certain bishops, is keenly felt in more populous areas of the church, and has led for calls for General Synod to be reformed on a more representative basis.

Carleton’s stories and novels, although written in Dublin, are mostly located in the Clogher Valley, a fertile area of County Tyrone, lying between the beautiful chain of hills to the north and the massive Slieve Beagh feature to the south.
As Carleton remarked, Clogher can claim city status as here is situated the Anglican cathedral of the Diocese of Clogher, a small but elegant building in the classical style.
Small and insignificant-looking, however, as it seems, it is the ecclesiastical metropolis of the diocese to which it gives its name.
