Thomas Mulvany (1 March 1868 – 16 June 1943)[1] was the Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath, Ireland from 1929 to his death in 1943.
Mulvany was born in the townland of Skearke Moynalty, County Meath on 1 March 1868 to James Mulvany and Mary Monaghan.[2] He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Meath on 6 March 1892.[1]
Episcopal ministry
Following his predecessor's death, Pope Pius XI named him Bishop of Meath on 12 April 1929 and he was consecrated on 30 June of that year, with Cardinal Joseph MacRory being the principal consecrator. He retained that position until his death in Mullingar on 16 June 1943.[1] He died in the Bishop's Palace, Mullingar, and is buried in the cathedral grounds.[3]
