    Construction began in 1958 on the site of the old city prison. It was completed in 1965, making it the last large stone cathedral to be built in Europe. It was jointly dedicated to Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and to St. Nicholas.

    The cathedral's architect was John J. Robinson, who had previously designed many churches in Dublin and across the country. The cathedral's architecture draws from many influences. The dome and columns reflect a Renaissance style.
    Other features, including the rose windows and mosaics, reflect the broad tradition of Christian art.
    At 44.2 meters (145 feet) tall, the cathedral's dome is a prominent landmark on the city's skyline.

        The relatively young church is relatively large and very clearly structured inside. The organ is of impressive size.
