Ecclesiastical historyLordship and Kingdom of IrelandThe union of the sees of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise, which had been proposed in 1709, was carried into effect following the death of Stephen MacEgan, Bishop of Meath on 30 May 1756, who had been administering the see of Clonmacnoise.[1][2] Augustine Cheevers, Bishop of Ardagh, was translated to the see of Meath on 7 August 1756, and Anthony Blake was appointed as the first bishop of united see of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise on 11 August 1756.[1][2] Modern timesOn Christmas Day 2009, St Mel's cathedral in Longford was destroyed by fire. Bishop O'Reilly said that the building is "just a shell" and "burned out from end to end". The bishop said construction on the Cathedral began in 1840 and he described it as a flagship Cathedrals of the midlands. After a long investigation the cause of the fire was traced back to a brick lined chimney at the rear of the cathedral[3] Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise{{main|Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise}}On 17 July 2013, Pope Francis accepted the resignation of the Most Reverend Colm O'Reilly from the pastoral government of the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise, in accordance with Canon 401 §1 of the Latin Church Code of Canon Law.
