  5. 1964 – St. Michael the Archangel Church, Athy, Co. Kildare
    Architect: O'Connor & Aylward

    Compare and contrast this with the wonderful church built by the Dominicans at the same time in the town. Even by Irish standards this is spectacularly conservative against the prevailing mood of the time - towards modernising Ireland.

  11. 1986 – Municipal Offices, Athy, Co. Kildare
    Architect: Keane Murphy Duff

    Built for Athy Urban District Council but with the reorganisation of local government, now the Municipal Offices for Athy. Very much of its time, the coloured treatment to the central atrium being an element for government or civic buildings of this period
