Sletty

Sletty, Sleaty, or Slatey, is a civil parish in County Laois, Ireland. It is situated some 2 km north-north-west of the town of Carlow. It was once the see of a bishopric, founded by Saint Fiacc in the fifth century, but this was later transferred to Roman Catholic [Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin|Leighlin]. It was at Sletty, according to James Joyce in his novel Ulysses, that Cormac mac Airt 'suffocated by imperfect deglutition of aliment', i.e. that he choked on a fishbone.
Since 1969, Sléibhte is a Catholic titular see.
