Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin

This is the official seat of the Catholic Church in Ireland. It holds the tomb of "Strongbow" who conquered Ireland for the English crown. I'm sure the locals are happy the SOB is dead. The Irish aren't very fond of the English. After all, the English took over their land and rented it back to them as serfs. They also let the Irish starve during the famine of 1846-1848. Ireland did not gain its independence from England until 1922. As part of the deal the English kept Northern Ireland.
