To explain about the Bishop of Roscrea from Wikipedia below:
The Bishop of Roscrea (Irish: Easpuig Ros Cré)
was an episcopal title which took its name after the town of Roscrea in County
Tipperary , Ireland
Roscrea monastery was founded by Saint Cronan in the
sixth-century, and from which the modern town grew around it. In March 1152,
the diocese of Roscrea was one of the twenty-four dioceses established at the Synod
of Kells. There are only two known diocesan bishops of Roscrea:
Ísác O Cuanáin who died in 1161 and Ua Cerbaill who died in 1168. By the
end of the 12th century, Roscrea had been incorporated into the bishopric of
Killaloe.
In 1970, the Roman Catholic Church revived the
title as the Titular Bishop of Ros Cré. It was previously held by
Bishop Heiner Koch,Auxiliary Bishop of Cologne ,
