The Diocese of Duleek was an Irish diocese[1] which remained a separate bishopric at the Synod of Kells held in 1152 but disappeared not long after that date. Firstly subsumed by the Diocese of Meath[2] and now within the Diocese of Meath and Kildare.
It began as an early Christian monastic settlement. St Patrick established the bishopric circa 450 AD.[3]
