Patrick Duggan

Patrick Duggan

Patrick Duggan (10 November 1813-15 August 1896) was Roman Catholic Bishop of Clonfert in Ireland.

Duggan was born in Cummer, County Galway, in 1813. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1841 and appointed curate to the parish of Kilmoylan and Cummer, and later parish priest. He was elevated to the Bishopric on 14 January 1872.

Duggan supported the Tenant Right League and the Home Rule movement. In the 1872 County Galway by-election, Duggan organized support for Capt. J.P. Nolan who was favourably disposed towards tenant rights. Nolan was elected but lost his seat on the grounds of undue clerical influence and Dr. Duggan was brought to trial with others before the Court of Common Pleas, but the case collapsed and he was acquitted.

In 1884 he was requested by Michael Cusack and others to become patron of the planned Gaelic Athletic Association. Dr. Duggan declined due to illness and suggested Thomas Croke, Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, in his place.

He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
