Frommer's Review
The foundation stone was laid for this building in 1793, and the church was opened in 1810 by the Discalced Carmelite Fathers. After continuous enlargement, it reached its present form in 1876. After years of anti-Catholic legislation, this was the first Catholic church to be legally and openly erected in Dublin, following the Catholic Relief Act of 1793. Among the artistic highlights are John Hogan's Dead Christ, a sculpture displayed beneath the altar, and Phyllis Burke's seven beautiful stained-glass windows.
