The National Synod of the Church of Ireland, published in 1869, includes a statement from representatives of the Provinces of Dublin and Cashel.

The statement asserts the independence of the provinces:Whereas, our provinces of Dublin and Cashel, by law and usage, are free from all subjection to the See of Armagh; and we, neither in virtue of our consecration, nor by reason of our appointment to the Archiepiscopal office in these our provinces, have bound ourselves, by the profession or promise of canonical reverence and obedience, to any other Archbishop and Metropolitical Church.

By reason of which independence we do claim and assert our right of precedence, appeal, and principal jurisdiction in matters Ecclesiastical within our provinces of Dublin and Cashel.

The province covers approximately the southern half of the island of Ireland, including the counties of Meath, Westmeath, Dublin, Kildare, Offaly, Laois, Wicklow, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Mayo, Galway and part of Sligo.
