The Archbishop and the crowd

    Proposed site for cathedral for Dublin. British Embassy, no. 39 Merrion Sq., burnt down just two years earlier.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    After 1974, the park was named after the Archbishop until 2010, when, after the Ryan report, Dublin City Council voted to name it Merrion Square Park instead.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Hard to believe that up to the 1960s access to the park was limited to residents, who used a private key. This square, and others, was built when the south city became fashionable following the construction of Leinster House. There is so much history referenced in this simple shot: the abandonment of plans for the site of a Dublin RC cathedral, the doner honoured at the time, and then his name removed and park renamed. A time of change for the church in Ireland.

    He was Archbishop from December 1940 to 1973 so this was either 1940 or early in 1941? A lot of prelates in this one.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Swordscookie Wikipedia claims 27 December 1940.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There is a description of the consecration in John Charles McQuaid: Ruler of Catholic Ireland by John Cooney. From that I think that the woman in the first row on the right (after all the clergy) is the then Lord Mayor of Dublin Kathleen Clarke.

    Interesting to see the changes to the arrangement of the altar/sanctuary area following Vatican II. According to the Wikipedia article, the altar rails were removed in the 1970s, the wooden pulpit was moved elsewhere, and the reredos (the ornate wall/divider that the candles are standing on either side of the tabernacle) was removed entirely. www.flickr.com/photos/the_burninator/128998406/ Perhaps unsurprisingly, though undoubtedly there are more ladies further back the church, I recon it might almost be possible to count the females in this section of the congregation on one hand. (Made obvious by the expectation that men would remove their headwear - but women would retain theirs.) I'd concur with Sharon Corbet's suggestion that the foremost hat-wearing (and fur-wearing?) lady is the Lord Mayor...
