Thomas Flynn (bishop of Ardagh)

Thomas Flynn was an Irish Roman Catholic clergyman who served as Bishop of Ardagh from 1718 to 1730.

Dr Flynn was appointed Bishop of Ardagh by a papal brief on 18 May 1718 and consecrated on 15 July 1718.

Bishop Flynn was suspended by the Primate Hugh MacMahon in 1729, for ordaining unsuitable candidates for the priesthood.

[1][2][5] His death in 1730 was disputed, supported by letters in the Stuart Court, which led to the delay in his successor Peter Mulligan becoming Bishop until 1732.

Bishop Flynn was buried in the Cloone cemetery, County Leitrim.
