Includes nearly all Longford, greater portion of Leitrim, and parts of Offaly, Westmeath, Roscommon, Cavan, and Sligo counties; established in the 5th century; suffragan of Armagh. Saint Patrick consecrated the first bishop, Saint Mel. Several of the O'Feral clan occupied the see, 14th and 15th centuries.
