St Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin

St. Andrew's Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Westland Row, Dublin, Ireland. Construction started in 1832, it opened for public worship in 1834 but was not completed until 1837.

History
The architect appointed to design the church was John Bolger. However, he used the plans for a previous church, in Townsend Street, which had been designed by James Leeson. Assistance was received from Francis Johnston and James Lever. The roof was by Richard Turner. The exterior of the church has a Doric portico with a statue of St. Andrew, sculpted by John Smyth (1776–1840), son of Edward Smyth (d.1812), sculptor of the Riverine heads at the Custom House. Dominic Corrigan (1802–1880), a noted physician, is buried in the crypt of the church. ==Organ==
Organ
The organ of St. Andrew's was built by John White of Dublin in 1870–1 at a cost of £1,000. It is a large three-manual instrument, notable for containing ten ranks of pipework from the workshop of the renowned French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. The original pneumatic-assisted mechanical action was removed during a rebuild in the 1950s and replaced with an electro-pneumatic system. Specification Organists • P.W.
