Construction began in 1865 and took five years before the main work was completed, and held the first solemn liturgy (1870). The towers and spiers of the cathedral was completed only in 1879.

Exterior and interior of the cathedral, including sculpture (1200), mosaic, furniture, etc., has also been developed and approved by William Burges, although some of its elements were completed after his death. It is necessary to pay special attention to the superb stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments, who are considered among the best in Ireland.
