Orthodoxy in the Republic of Ireland

Since 2010, the Romanian Orthodox parish of Ballsbridge has been operating from two alternate locations in Blanchardstown: three recently appointed priests hold the liturgy there every Sunday.

When these premises were declared unsafe in 1986, the parish transferred to a house chapel in Artane.

In November of that same year, the Church of Ireland transferred another of its defunct churches, in Ranelagh, for Greek Orthodox use.
