Dominic Maguire O.P. (died 1707) was an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland from 1683 to 1707.[1][2][3]
A Dominican friar, he was elected Archbishop of Armagh by the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith on 14 December 1683.[2][3] By a papal brief, dated 12 January 1684,[1][2][3] he was empowered to perform archiepiscopal functions without the Pallium.[2] During the revolution of 1688, Maguire and other Catholic prelates were instrumental in saving from destruction the valuable library of Trinity College, Dublin.[2] In 1691, he fled to France, and took refuge in Paris from his persecutors.[2]
He died in exile in Paris on 21 September 1707,[1][2][3] and was buried in the church of the Irish College in Paris.[2]
