Faith restored in Barry Byrne's vision

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / November 11 2002: Faith restored in Barry Byrne's vision

The architect's 1930s masterpiece has been given the resurrection is deserves. An old wrong has been put right by RKD McCarthy Lynch's brilliant restoration of Barry Byrne's masterpiece, Christ the King, in Turner's Cross, Cork. The parish's website, www.turnerscross.com — as good a site about a single building and its architect one could find — is a stylish apology to the sullied memory of the church's Chicagoan creator and his collaborators.
