Episode Details

St. Mary’s Cathedral in Dublin is closing its doors next week for a seven-year, €17 million renovation to upgrade accessibility, restore structure, and revamp interiors — making it one of the city’s most vital landmarks future-proof. While closed, major services will shift to St. Andrew’s Church, and parish activities to St. Joseph’s — part of a broader plan to restructure Catholic presence downtown. A controversial proposal to swap roles between the two churches was scrapped after community backlash, preserving both as central hubs. With donor pledges already secured, the archdiocese is rallying support to ensure this historic cathedral remains a cornerstone of Dublin for decades to come.
