cal Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in the "Greek style".[2] The church was originally designed by Patrick Byrne and later extended by William Henry Byrne who added a portico and pediment.[2]
The interior of the church, roof and dome were destroyed by a fire on 26 January 1920,[3] but were rebuilt and reopened by 1922.[2] The dome was made even higher in the rebuilding effort.[3]
