Biography

The Right Reverend Stephen Creagh Sandes, DD was a Church of Ireland bishop in the Nineteenth century.
A Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, he was consecrated Bishop of Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert and Kilmacduagh on 12 June 1836 and translated to Cashel, Emly, Waterford and Lismore in February 1839.
He died on 13 November 1842.
Among his students at Trinity College was the eminent barrister and author Gerald Fitzgibbon, who remembered with gratitude that it was Sandes who advised him, despite his lack of money or influential connections, to persist in a career in the law.
