Iconic cathedral poised for €1m repairs grant from council
It is hoped if Cork City Council sanctions the move to partially fund the estimated €4m refurbishment works on the landmark St Finbarre’s Cathedral, it will kick-start the process of securing further funding from central Government.
Designed by William Burges and consecrated in 1870, the cathedral is a city landmark. The site of worship since the 7th century, it is of international architectural significance and attracted more than 26,000 visitors last year.
