The green field is for his rank as bishop (the tassels around the arms of a bishop are always green). The right hand professing fidelity is found on the Cooney family arms and the two swallows are taken from the Dowdall (=mother´s) arms , also symbolizing fidelity because these are birds of grateful light and faithful migration. | |||
The motto FIDELIS USQUE AD MORTEM also comes from the Dowdall arms and means ¨Faithful even to death¨. | |||
