Origin/meaning
The arms combine the arms of the diocese with the personal arms of the bishop.
The right hand professing fidelity is found on a Cooney family arms (not related to the bishop though) and the two swallows are taken from a Dowdall (=mother´s) arms , also symbolizing fidelity because these are birds of grateful light and faithful migration.
The motto FIDELIS USQUE AD MORTEM also comes from a version of the (non-related) Dowdall arms and means ¨Faithful even to death¨.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, .
