Bishop Kevin Doran was born in Dublin in 1953 and ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Dublin in July 1977. During his thirty-six years as a Dublin priest, he served in six parishes around the Diocese, as well as working in educational administration, university chaplaincy and in the accompaniment of candidates for ordained ministry. He was Secretary General of the 50th International Eucharistic Congress which was held in Dublin in 2012. He was appointed Bishop of Elphin in April 2014 and ordained Bishop on 13 July 2014. As part of a reconfiguration of the Dioceses of the Tuam Ecclesiatical Province, announced by the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Montemayor, in April 2024, Bishop Doran was appointed Apostolic Administrator of Achonry, with a view to the eventual union of the two Dioceses of Elphin and Achonry. He has been appointed today (16 February 2025) as Bishop of Achonry, while remaining Bishop of Elphin, and the two Dioceses are joined “ in persona episcopi ” (see explanation above). Bishop Doran currently serves as Chairperson of the Council for Life, and the Committee for Theology of the the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference. He is also a member of the Council for Justice and Peace.
