The Irish Ministry of Magic, commonly known as The Ministry, is a magical governing force based in Limerick, Ireland. It is spearheaded by Pyotr Finnbogadottir.
Location[]
The Ministry is located deep in the ground, underneath St. Mary's Cathedral in Limerick, Ireland. The Ministry can be accessed by special password at a side door of the building. While the interior of the cathedral may seem normal to Gandríochts, wizards are able to access hidden parts that are inaccessible to others.
History[]
The Irish Ministry of Magic was historically founded by Madam Mairéy Ní Loingsigh of Letterkenny. Madam Loingsigh was the first witch to ever establish a ministry. Madam Loingsigh was the first leader of the Ministry, and held her position for half a century. She was instrumental in the creation of Erehnoll, as well as establishing the magical government.
The site of St. Mary's Cathedral was constructed to hide the ministry's underground headquarters. The first priest of the church, Duke Eoghan Corráin Breandán Mac Diarmada, was the only member of the church to know of the ministry's existence, as he was a wizard himself.
Originally, the Irish Ministry of Magic was a branch of the British Ministry of Magic. However, in 2002, the Irish Ministry split from the British and redirected all Irish students from Hogwarts to Erehnoll. Before the split, Erehnoll was a choice school for wizards and witches that was harder to get into then Hogwarts ever was.
