He was briefly Bishop of Cork and Ross, before in 1789 being translated to Ferns and Leighlin.Template:Sfn
During the 1798 insurrection in Ireland his palace in Ferns was ransacked and Cleaver was obliged to take refuge in Beaumaris, Anglesey which was in his brother, William Cleaver's diocese of Bangor, Gwynedd, where he lived at what is now the Bishopsgate Hotel.[1]Template:Sfn
His exercise of the Archbishopric of Dublin was cut short for reasons of alleged insanity.Template:Sfn He appears to have favoured the use of the Irish language.
