    Creeslough is a nice choice….bit overlooked

    also in Donegal

    Glenties … quite simple but impressive nonetheless, for a tight budget

    Church of the All Saints , built in 1999 inspired by the design of St.Peter’s Boat

    Burt has to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated

    The epitome of the breeze-block brigade, that concrete box in Firhouse is now much loved by its parishners, not least because its so different from everywhere else.

    Surprisingly, on one has jet mentioned St. Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh, Co. Cork, nor Sts. Peter and Paull’s in Cork City – if we can mention that place!

    Possibly because it is a Cathedral

    My favourite church has to be St Bartholomews in Dublin it is good Victorian Neo-Gothic Church that occupies a very tricky site well. It has been very well maintained throughout the years and its clock is another asset. For a Prodestant Church it is about as high church as you will see in this Country.

    The Honal Chapel U.C.C. Cork – Beautiful interiors and stained glass & floor mosaic.
    Stunning.

    In Dublin, St.Audeon’s RC for the best interior. Also the church of the good sheperd in churchtown-but I’m sure no-one knows about that.

    Outside Dublin I love the Capuchin Friary church in Kilkenny CITY, and the COI cathedral in Waterford, the most overlooked building in Ireland.

    Agreed, and it has just celebrated the 90 anniversary of its consecration and remarkably is still, for the most part, intact. The sanctuary lamp has recently been re-instated and we await the re-instatement of the Grille for the West door and the altar rail.

    For me Killarney Cathedral and St Saviour’s in Dublin – despite all that has been inflicted on these two, they are still impressive.

    I love the Monkstown COI. It’s very well lit at night too.

    One of my favourites, the CoI in Monkstown. It’s even nicer than this picture gives it credit for.

    Reminds me quite a bit of the Black Church, another magnificent building.
