Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

"Building of the church began in 1951 and it was opened on the 12th March 1953. When it was consecrated by the Archbishop of Dublin Most Reverend J.C. McQuaid, The Reverend Canon Troy was appointed Parish Priest. The church seats 2000 and has an overall accomodation for 7000. It cost over £100,000 to build and is constructed of granite and cement blocks. Prior to the opening of the church Ballyfermot had been part of St. Michael's parish, Inchicore". (Jamie)
