Excerpt from Wikipedia
St Muredach's Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killala in Ireland. It is located on the bank of the River Moy in Ballina, County Mayo. It is also the parish church of the parish of Kilmoremoy.
It is a detached six-bay double-height building on a cruciform plan comprising four-bay double-height nave which opens into single-bay double-height transepts all centred on single-bay double-height chancel.
The cathedral's construction was initiated by Bishop John MacHale (1791-1881) who served as the Bishop of Killala from 1825-1834 and the completion of the cathedral in 1834, coincided with his translation to the Archdiocese of Tuam.
The spire was completed in 1855 to the designs of the celebrated architect James Joseph McCarthy and further embellishment continued throughout the nineteenth century.
