The Sacred Metropolis of Ireland or Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Ireland (Greek: Ιερά Μητρόπολις Ιρλανδίας) is a diocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, established in 2024.
Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Ireland was established by decision of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople on March 22, 2024, with the separation of the territories of Ireland from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain. Its jurisdiction covers those Orthodox Christians living in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The first Metropolitan bishop was elected on the same day, Auxiliary Bishop Iakovos of Zenoupolis.
Metropolitan Iakovos of Ireland was enthroned by Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira and Great Britain, on Saturday, 18 May 2024. The ceremony took place at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation of the Mother of God in Dublin.
