Kells, Synod of (1152), culmination of the pre‐Norman church reform movement. Sitting first at Kells and later at Mellifont, the synod legislated for payment of tithes and other reforms of the kind initiated at the Synod of Cashel. It reassigned Irish dioceses to four provinces, Dublin and Tuam being added to Armagh and Cashel, the archbishoprics established at the Synod of Ráith Bressail. Cardinal John Paparo, papal legate, arrived with pallia (insignia) for the four archbishops.
