The altar and reredos, of which we give a lithograph [on p. 253] with our present number, have been erected from the designs of Mr. Hansom, London, for the Rev. P. Gaynor, Monastery, Killarney. The columns supporting the altar-table are of Galway green marble, with alabaster caps. The groups in reredos are: Christ blessing little children, and the presentation in the Temple. The four evangelists are placed in niches, as shewn. The panel in front of altar contains the Dead Christ, &c. The entire work has been completed in the most satisfactory manner by Mr. Joseph O'ReUly, Anglesea Street, Cork. [255]
