List of Irish Presbyteries explained

Congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland are grouped into 19 presbyteries throughout the island of Ireland. The stated officers within a presbytery are the moderator, who acts as chairman, and the clerk, who acts as secretary to the presbytery. Both the moderator and clerk are chosen from among the ministers and ruling elders under the presbytery’s jurisdiction. The Moderator is elected for a term of one year at the March meeting of the presbytery, whilst the clerk is appointed by the Presbytery and holds office at the pleasure of the court.
