< Apostolic Nunciature to Ireland

Prose

 * "Some writers on the church in medieval Ireland, most recently J.A. Watt, have argued that after 1172 and the intervention of Henry II in Ireland, Hiberno-papal relations can no longer be said to exist, that they became a mere branch of Anglo-papal relations."
 * "legatine commissions usually lapsed with the death of the Pope who had made the appointment"
 * from 1159, a legate for Kingdom of Scotland was appointed separate from the one for England, to emphasise its church's separateness.
 * pre 1176, Ireland its own legate; afterwards shared with Scotland and Kingdom of the Isles
 * "with the death of Laurence O'Toole in November 1180, as far as we know, no native papal legate was appointed for practically the first time since 1101."
 * Pandulf Verraccio seems to have been legate to England only, although he did negotiate with Scotland in 1220, he seems to have had no interaction with Ireland.
 * "A legate a latere always outranked a legatus natus; hence the determination of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, though already a legatus natus by virtue of his being archbishop of York, to attain for life the status of a legatus a latere, and with it precedence over the archbishop of Canterbury."
 * James Taaffe "papal envoy ... In early April 1668 Taaffe ... produced what he claimed was an official copy of a papal bull ... which made him papal commissary and apostolic visitor for Ireland. In fact this was a rather crude forgery that he had drawn up himself." DIB
