The Apostolic Nunciature to Ireland the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to Ireland. It is located in Dublin. The position of Apostolic Nuncio is currently Luis Mariano Montemayor.
The Apostolic Nunciature to Ireland is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Ireland, with the rank of an embassy. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the President of Ireland, and as delegate and point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland (including Northern Ireland)[1] and the Pope.
Northern Ireland also caused some soul-searching, Government sources said. In the end it was decided that the Vatican would in future deal with Northern Ireland through the nuncio in Dublin and with England, Scotland and Wales through the pro-nuncio in London.
