The Honan Chapel, dedicated to St. Finbarr of Cork on 5th November 1916, was built and furnished during a period marking the transformation of the Irish political and cultural landscape. Built by John Sisk & Son, it is a unique case study illustrating the role played by the Dublin schools in helping to renew Cork craftsmanship in the first decades of the twentieth-century. Rev. Sir John Robert O'Connell, educated at Belvedere College, Dublin, was a driving force in its construction. The chapel and its liturgical collection are products of the Irish Arts & Crafts Movement (1894-1925). This accounts for the overall unity of style.
