St. Agatha’s Church, Glenflesk, Co. Kerry, JJ. McCarthy (1862)
Small Gothic Revival church built out of local stone, sited at the start of a mountain pass from Kerry to Cork. Tower never completed.

St. Senan’s church, Foynes, Co. Limerick, by JJ. McCarthy (1868)
St. Senan’s is another example of the unfettered vandalism visited on JJ. McCarthy’s oeuvre: in the 1970s a cheap concrete extension was added tot he south wall which was then demolished and the original church “converted” into a chancel. This piece of hooliganism must surely rank after the assault on Dingle parish church.

The Church of Sts. Quan and Broghan, Clonea, Co. Waterford, by JJ. McCarthy (1860)
This is a highly decorted church but the spire was never built.
The windows are by the Harry Clarke studio.
By some miracle, it still seems to be intact.

Church of the Holy Cross, Tramore, Co. Waterford, by JJ. McCarthy (1856-1862)
The interior of the church was wrecked beyond recognition by Ray Carroll in 1970s
It seems as though it also lost its original doors in 1995.
