Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity

In the early part of the twentieth century, railings separated the church from the street. These have since been removed. The Cathedral was refurbished in 1977 and a new altar was installed so that Mass could be celebrated ad populum (facing the people). A gift of ten crystal chandeliers from Waterford Crystal enhanced the glory of the Cathedral. A complete reflooring of the building and a restructuring of the sacristy took place in the early 1990s. Further work was completed in November 2006 with a re-fit of structure to the interior and exterior

Very unusual interior decoration of the cathedral. It looks more like an opera or theater, rather than a place of worship. It's beautiful though. What's even more interesting is the crucial event that took place there - the wedding of Strongbow and Aoife which put an end to tje viking era of Ireland. And... started the English interference (to put it mildly) of England in Irish affairs.

Located on a lovely pedestrian mall, stands the oldest cathedral, in Ireland, (built in the late 1700's), the interior is quite grand.

A good example of Georgian church design, the Cathedral was the first Catholic Cathedral to open in Ireland in 1823. It was designed by John Roberts who also designed the Anglican Cathedral in the city
