The bishop has two episcopal seats (Cathedra): St. Mary's Cathedral, Tuam and St Patrick's Cathedral, Killala.[2] There had been a third, St. Crumnathy’s Cathedral, Achonry, but it was deconsecrated in 1998 and is now used for ecumenical events.[3]

Following the retirement in January 2011 of the Right Reverend Richard Henderson, it was proposed that no successor be elected immediately, so as to give a committee time to consider the future of the diocese; this proposal was, however, defeated on 5 March 2011 at a special meeting of the Church of Ireland General Synod called to consider the suggestion.[4][5] A successor was accordingly elected.
