Move To Ireland
Somehow he made the acquaintance of the Queen's favourite Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex. Loftus accompanied Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex to Ireland as his chaplain in 1560. In 1561 he became chaplain to Alexander Craik, bishop of Kildare and dean of St Patrick's in Dublin. Later that year he was appointed rector of Painstown in Meath, and evidently earned a reputation as a learned and discreet advisor to the English authorities in Dublin. In 1563, he was consecrated archbishop of Armagh at the unprecedented age of 28 by Hugh Curwen, Archbishop of Dublin. In 1565 the queen, to supplement the meagre income derivable from the archbishopric in a politically unstable country, appointed Loftus temporarily to the deanery of St Patrick's; and in the same year he became president of the new commission for ecclesiastical causes.

Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
