The Marriage Tribunal is one of the caring agencies of the Catholic Church. In carrying out its task, the Tribunal must bear a two-fold witness – It must bear witness to the bond of marriage and it must bear witness to the justice and compassion of Christ for those who have suffered from a marriage whose validity may be questioned on recognized grounds. The Tribunal is approached only when every effort to bring about reconciliation in a particular marriage has ended in failure. Those who wish to have the circumstances of their marriage investigated may contact the Tribunal directly or through their local priest. Four Regional Marriage Tribunals were established in Ireland by the Seminarians from the Tuam Archdiocese: Mr Aidan Gallagher Irish Episcopal Conference on March 24th 1975. They are located (Killeen), Mr Gerard Quirke (Tuam), Mr Shane Costelloe respectively in Armagh, Dublin, Cork and Galway cities.
