St Michael’s Church, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.

Route 3.

St Michael's, Dun Laoghaire.

St Michaels Dun Laoghaire church.

Saint Michael’s church Dun Laoghaire which is situated on the junction of Georges

Street and Marine road, with the main body of the church building running down

Marine road toward the seafront. The older church had a damaging fire during the

1960s and was rebuilt, except the tower and steeple, in the early 1970s.

 The tower seen in the image above is the only remaining part of the original church

Inside the church are a number of exceptional images and statues along with

a number of shrines. What I would term the central nave does not run, as might

be expected from the main door to the altar, but rather from the southern wall to the altar.

There is to be also found a slightly unusual baptismal font just inside the main entrance

to the church. The church building has a number of bus services passing up Marine road including the No 111.

It also has a dart station at the end of Marine Road.

The No111 may be replaced by local route L21

The church is still in practical daily use, with the mornings given over to Mass,

 some Rosary groups in some churches, and funerals. So unless I intended to

 fully attend mass I would normally keep my three Saints visits to the

afternoons, this is after the 12noon Angelus and before 3.30pm approximately.
