The Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference is a collective body of bishops from the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. It serves to coordinate the activities and policies of the Church across the country, addressing issues related to faith, morality, and social justice. The conference meets regularly to discuss matters of importance to the Catholic community and to provide guidance to the faithful. Established in the mid-20th century, the conference plays a significant role in shaping the Church's response to contemporary challenges. It also engages with the government and other organizations on issues such as education, health care, and family life, promoting the values of the Catholic Church in public discourse.
