The Holy See, as the central government of the Roman Catholic Church (to be clearly distinguished from the State of Vatican City, which came into existence only in 1929), has full diplomatic ties with Ireland as well as many other countries worldwide. The current Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland is His Excellency Giuseppe Leanza. The Nuncio's residence and office is situated at Navan Road, Dublin, Ireland.
