Primate pays tribute to former Archbishop of Dublin
The Rt Revd Prof Donald Caird, former Archbishop of Dublin (1985–96), Bishop of Meath & Kildare (1976–85) and Bishop of Limerick (1970–76), has died.
Aged 91, he passed away in the early hours of Thursday, June 1.
Paying tribute to him, the Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, said: “So many will be saddened by the news of the death of Bishop Donald Caird, who, all will recognise, gave wonderful service to the Church of Ireland in so many ways over very many years.
“Donald was loved and respected in equal measure and I wish to extend the sympathies of the Church of Ireland to Nancy and his family. May they know God’s comfort at this time of loss.”
Funeral arrangements will be confirmed in due course.
