Ecclesiastic and diplomat, born Ballybogan, County Meath, Ireland, 1746; died Tramore, County Waterford, Ireland, 1803. He was educated at Salamanca and appointed chaplain to the Spanish embassy at London, 1767. Twenty-five years later, when Spain and France broke with England, he took care of the Spanish interests in England; subsequently he was entrusted by the British with diplomatic missions in Madrid and Ireland. In 1795 he was appointed first president of Maynooth College, and shortly after was consecrated Bishop of Waterford and Lismore.
