But he delivered the <a href="/wiki/Pallium" title="Pallium">pallium</a> to Dublin which was the best city and appointed that the diocese (Glendalough) in which both these cities were should be divided, and that one part thereof should fall to the metropolitan." The part of northern <a href="/wiki/County_Dublin" title="County Dublin">County Dublin</a> known as Fingall was taken from Glendalough Diocese and attached to Dublin.

During his time in office, the presence of the Church grew in Dublin city (by 1170 there were six churches other than the cathedral within the walls<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) and religious orders from the continent came to Ireland (Augustinians, Dominicans, Franciscans and Carmelites had houses in Dublin, and the great convent of <a href="/wiki/Grace_Dieu_Abbey" title="Grace Dieu Abbey">Grace Dieu</a>, near <a href="/wiki/Donabate" title="Donabate">Donabate</a>, was also founded).

In 1185, the Pope had granted a petition to merge the Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough, to take effect on the death of the then Bishop of Glendalough. The union took effect in 1216, with the approval of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Innocent_III" title="Pope Innocent III">Pope Innocent III</a>, and the dioceses have remained merged ever since. </p><p>Dublin acquired a second cathedral, <a href="/wiki/St_Patrick%27s_Cathedral,_Dublin" title="St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin">St Patrick's</a>, built outside the city walls by an archbishop anxious to keep his freedom of action from the city's government, and chartered in 1191. In addition to his palace of Saint Sepulchre (where Kevin Street Garda station is situated today) the archbishop had his castle at <a href="/wiki/Swords,_Dublin" title="Swords, Dublin">Swords</a>. The abbot of Saint Mary's Abbey had his castle at Bulloch Harbour near <a href="/wiki/Dalkey" title="Dalkey">Dalkey</a>, where he levied customs duties on all imported goods.
