Jeremiah Joseph Doyle (5 December 1849 – 1909), was an Irish born Catholic bishop, the bishop of Grafton, later re-named the diocese of Lismore in New South Wales, Australia.[1] One of his achievements was lobbying for, and acquiring funds for, the building of St Carthage's Cathedral at Lismore, which was constructed over the period 1892–1907, with the bell tower completed a few years later, after his death.
Doyle was born at Kilmurry, County Cork, Ireland. He was the son of Daniel Doyle and his wife Ellen (née Murphy). He was educated in classics at Mount Melleray College, Waterford, and in 1868 he entered All Hallows College, Dublin.[1][2]
