    Cockhill Church. [opened 1847] Bishop Maginn travelled as far as London to gather money for the building of Cockhill Church. He accepted money from all creeds with equal gratitude. A loan of £1000 from the Commissioner of Public Works was the major part of his collecting efforts. It was guaranteed by Big John Granny of Glenard and one of the Kellys, and took 30 years to repay. But, it was paid out in wages to the workers at a time when they had no other means of survival. There was a policy, much favoured by the landlords to keep Catholic Churches out of towns. As we see in the case of Cockhill, the Church was built approximately one mile outside, a fairly common feature all over Ireland. And it is a pity that all traces of the older Church, which Bishop Maginn replaced, have been lost. A visible link between the Mass Rock on one side of the river and the present Church on the other would be of great interest. ... ...

    According to the NIAH: three-bay two-storey with attic level sacristy attached to the chancel gable (south-east), added c. 1870, having gable-fronted single-bay entrance porch to the north end of the south-east gable end. I think we would see the sacristy from this angle if it were present. OK, googling about the map, maybe not. I really can't tell.

    Wednesday 22 June 1932 according to - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16911642 - "... The church was tastefully decorated with festoons of foliage, and hanging baskets of hydrangeas between the pillars. ... "

    Was this on Wednesday, 22 June 1932? The Irish Press reported in Thursday 23rd's paper about "cheering crowds" and "high-pitched enthusiasm" as the Papal Legate [Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri] and other church dignitaries drove and then processed to the Pro-Cathedral.
    A mighty roar from three thousand throats signalled his arrival. Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri was evidently gratified by the warmth of the welcome. He smiled and blessed those who had greeted him. Accompanied by his suite he entered the Pro-Cathedral. A few minutes earlier a distinguished procession of the nine cardinals attending the Eucharistic Congress walked in single file to the Pro-Cathedral. Cardinal MacRory was at the rear... Catholic Boy Scouts, carrying their standard colours, and a company of Catholic Sea Scouts from the Port of Galway, the nucleus of the Free State Mercantile Marine, formed the guard of honour.
    Unsurprisingly, Dev and Sean T. O'Kelly were there, and the ever popular Alfie Byrne, Lord Mayor of Dublin (the "Shaking Hand of Dublin"). I should be able to get an approximate time of days from one of the newspaper reports.

    Pretty sure we had this one before as well and it was enniskillen.

    I'll say Navan. In this Streetview, you can see both church towers. I can't get an angle from across the river, though. St. Mary's is from 1800s, I thought is looked more modern. Italianate belltower from 1870, per the NIAH.
