Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference
Statement by Bishop Edward Daly on the appointment of Monsignor Eamon Martin as Coadjutor Archbishop of Armagh
I wish to offer my sincere congratulations, good wishes and God’s blessing to Monsignor Eamon Martin on his appointment as Coadjutor Archbishop of Armagh.
Over the last 25 years, Eamon has served both the Derry Diocese and the Irish Episcopal Conference with distinction. He has fulfilled all the various major responsibilities entrusted to him since his ordination with outstanding ability. He will bring many skills and gifts to the Archdiocese of Armagh and, subsequently, to the Irish Church. He is highly intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate, and an excellent communicator of God’s word.
I have known Eamon and his family since he was a child. His mother and family are rightly proud of him. I am pleased that a priest of the Derry Diocese has been entrusted with this daunting responsibility and feel very honoured that I ordained Eamon to the priesthood of this diocese.
