Origin/meaning
The arms combine the arms of the diocese with the personal arms of the bishop.
The green field is for his rank as bishop (the tassels around the arms of a bishop are always green). The right hand professing fidelity is found on the Cooney family arms and the two swallows are taken from the 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 the 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, .
