Dalkey Island
Dalkey, Dublin
A small treeless island 300 yards offshore from Coliemore harbour, where row-boats may be hired.

The island is uninhabited and its main interest is the early church dedicated to Saint Begnet near the landing place on the west shore. It has prominent antae and a massively lintelled doorway with slightly inclined jambs. The original roof was probably thatch or shingles, but medieval slates discovered in the course of excavation show that the church remained in use for some considerabl...

Corn Market St (Near High St.), Dublin 2, Dublin
The church was founded by the Anglo-Normans and dedicated to the Norman saint, St Audoen o Rouen. It was one of a group of Guild Chapels, and one of the leading churches in Dublin in its day. Public announcements, such as the Pronouncements of Papal Bulls, were made here, and public penances performed.

The west doorway probably dates to around 1200, but the lower portion of the tower above it is largely 17th century in date. The present church consists only of the nave of the orig...

Dublin 1, Dublin
It was possibly St. Comgall of Bangor who founded the first monastery here. The present nave-and-chancel church may have been built or re-built as late as the 16th century, but it incorporates part of an earlier church. Attached to the south wall of the church are a number of unusual Early Christian decorated slabs.

Near the south-west end of the church is the stump of a Round Tower. Remains of the old monastic stone wall surround the graveyard.

In a laneway leading down fr...

Dublin 1, Dublin
Founded by St. Doulagh, who lived around 600. The old church is entered through that part of the church now used for Divine Service which was built in 1864. The east end of the church, dating from the mid-12th century, is vaulted, above which is an attic room whose walls also serve to prevent the steep-pitched stone roof from caving inwards.

The remainder of the church is of 15th century date. At its centre is a room called 'The Hermit's Cell' which is reputed to be the burial place of...

In the church of the Carmelite Fathers in Whitefriar Street lies the body of St Valentine, whose feast day on 14th February is now celebrated with cards, chocolates, tokens of love and sentiments not usually associated with the more chaste saints.

The body, which formerly lay in the cemetery of St Hippolytus in Rome, was presented to the Fathers in 1836 by Pope Gregory XVI.

The church itself, designed by George Papworth in 1825, stands on the site of the thirteenth-century chur...
