    3. Take a look at this website and note that the present day Cathedral of St Finbarrs was consecrated in 1879. There were churches of the same name on the site since the 7th century. It is Church of Ireland. http://cathedral.cork.anglican.org/history/history.html http://cathedral.cork.anglican.org/ Map of the cathedral location include Gillabbey Street: http://cathedral.cork.anglican.org/findus/findus.html Kae Lewis > > I have a modern day Ordnance Survey Street Map of Cork city and I'm pleased > to say that Gillabbey Terrace is still shown.
