What is recorded here
Dermot Farrell was born in Castletown Geoghegan, County Westmeath, on 22 November 1954, the eldest of seven children in a home where faith and family likely intertwined. He later became Archbishop of Dublin, carrying that small-town origin into one of Ireland's largest sees. The journey from a Westmeath childhood to leading the Church in Dublin suggests a life shaped by both local roots and wider responsibility.
