Next to the Courthouse is St Patricks Church of Ireland - a fine building with aneedle spire, tall lancet windows and pinnacles along its length. According to reports of the time, it cost �5330 and was designed by William Farrell. Protected from the street by a low wall with iron railings, the Church provides a fine focal point for Church Square and a vertical foil to the horizontal nature of the other buildings and a balance to the obelisk of the Dawson Memorial at the opposite end of the square. St Patricks has a very ornate interior which survives intact.
