Saint Eunan's Cathedral of St. Eunan and St. Columba
Cathedrals always stand on top of the list when it comes to visiting a new city and doing all the tours related to it, they always have a different kind of atmosphere and a different decoration that keep all the visitors mesmerized.
Check out this video of Saint Eunan's cathedral in Letterkenny, County Donegal. It is an impressive Cathedral based in this Donegal Town and overlooks the people of Letterkenny as they go about their daily lives.
The Letterkenny Cathedral was opened in 1901 and it is built in a Victorian neo Gothic style. It has some lovely stained glassed windows, flying buttress and carvings all around the cathedral itself.
The interesting thing about St Eunan's Cathedral is that no matter from where you are approaching Letterkenny, you will manage to see the tall spire of it greeting you; coming from the east, the west, the north or the south, it will all be the same and you will be greeted in the same way.
Saint Eunan's Cathedral was completed in the 20th century and not in the 14th as some people think and there were eleven years between the formation of the Cathedral Building Committee in 1890 by then Bishop Raphoe and the opening of the cathedral in 1901.
The cathedral moved through a good history that was related to the plan of building it; back in 1830's Dr Patrick McGettigan caused a parish church to be built in the same location as the current cathedral and before that there had been a church on the Glencar Road. Bishop Daniel McGettigan (later Archbishop) had plans drawn up for a cathedral, his idea was to build the tower first which would stimulate the building of the rest. The plan for building the cathedral has been kept in the minds of the bishops afterwards until in the 19th century when lots of people were willing to provide financial support and many of the cathedral's treasures are already gifts of individuals.
Saint Eunan's Cathedral is also known as the cathedral of St. Columba and this was built at a cost of over £300,000. One of the best things ever said about this cathedral was by Bishop O'Donnell's Sermon who said that the cathedral was intended to be an intellectual and spiritual edification for the people. It would gladden their hearts, and it would elevate their ideals, it would bring back to them the glorious memories of the past, and infuse into their souls a Christian manliness to make them noble, wise, brave and good... to conserve that spirit they would put into their Cathedral a stone from every fallen shrine in Donegal and they would have in the Cathedral an altar or a window or a tablet to every patron saint of every parish in the diocese.
Saint Eunan's Cathedral which was designed by William Hague F.R.I.A. of Dublin, and it is built of white Mountcharles stone. While being in Letterkenny county Donegal, we went to see this beautiful old Cathedral and experience the whole place through our drone, and it felt amazing to see the town from above and the everyday life of those people living in it.
Letterkenny is actually named The Cathedral Town for the sake of Saint Eunan's Cathedral and it is the largest town to be placed in county Donegal. Letterkenny lies on the River Swilly in east Donegal and it started back in the 17th century as a market town during the plantation of Ulster (
Like any other place in the world, there are different other places that one could visit in county Donegal and these places include Grianan of Alieach ( as well as some of the other things which could be done there and which you could check them all out through the video which we have created here (
County Donegal is known to be a county of Ireland that is located in the province of Ulster, and it is named after the town of Donegal that is located in the south of the county. There are different counties in Ireland that one could visit and check all the historical buildings and touristic attractions that are found in every single one of them and which always attract a good number of tourists to them - we included!
This was one of the trips that we have done to one of the most famous cathedrals in Ireland and which carries a great history behind and which also carries views from all the different directions over the town of Letterkenny.
You should definitely plan a trip to Letterkenny, county Donegal, at some point and go to check Saint Eunan's Cathedral and the beautiful inside out this cathedral is - we enjoyed looking at it all from the outside and we also loved coming to the inside to check the interiors and the parts it carries from history.
So if visiting Letterkenny - do check out the Cathedral - see this building that has been overlooking the town for more than 100 years.

Saint Eunan's College, Letterkenny Co Donegal. October 11, 2017
Saint Eunan's College (Irish: Coláiste Adhamhnáin) is an all-male voluntary Roman Catholic secondary school in County Donegal, Ireland. Located in the Glencar area of Letterkenny, it is an imposing three-storey structure resembling a castle, and is known as the castle on the hill.[1] It was designed by renowned Irish architect Thomas Francis McNamara. Noted also for the peculiar nature of its architecture, with four turreted round towers and flying buttresses modelled on the nearby Cathedral, it is divided by a capacious central courtyard, adjoined to an immense stone chapel and home to some unusual flora, fauna and fungi, completed by the conspicuous presence of a large monkey puzzle tree on its front lawn. Named after the Abbot of Iona Saint Eunan, a native of Donegal and patron saint of the Diocese of Raphoe, it celebrated its centenary in 2006.[2] Saint Eunan's College is a prolific sporting institution, having produced numerous footballers who have gone on to play for the Donegal senior football team at the highest level of the game. Current Donegal captain Michael Murphy and former captain Neil Gallagher, who led the team to the 2007 National Football League title, are among these. Among the current staff are All-Ireland winning Gaelic football All Star Colm McFadden, football manager Gary McDaid (currently of Glenswilly), football manager and former Donegal selector Mickey Houston and Ollie Horgan, who has managed Finn Harps and the Republic of Ireland national schoolboy football team.

Saint Eunan's College, Boys secondary school Letterkenny, Co Donegal Ireland.
Saint Eunan's College was founded as a boarding school in 1906 by the then Bishop of Raphoe, Patrick O' Donnell. Originally intended as a minor seminary, it was designed to prepare students for the Roman Catholic priesthood. Diocesan colleges became an increasingly popular feature at the time and were designed to give the best possible Catholic education to boys of every class.
The student population expanded in the 1920s and it was necessary to build a new extension to the College in the early 1930s. The current recreation hall was built in 1958 and the science block in 1968. The College Chapel was designed by J.J. Robinson, the architect of Galway Cathedral. It was completed in 1961 at a cost of £42,000.[3]
The 'new building' was opened in 1979 to cater for the 500 students enrolled at the time. Due to the growth of other second level schools in the area the number of boarders dropped extensively and in 1992, the boarding wing was finally shut down. Saint Eunan's College continues to this day as a Catholic School under the trusteeship of the Bishop of Raphoe.
The school currently serves approximately 900 students from Letterkenny and its surrounding area, and is one of the few remaining all-male schools in the north-western part of Ireland. The president, since 2009, is Christopher Darby and the vice principal, since 2010, is Mary Cunningham.
In 2007, the school came to the attention of the national media. Retailers were urged not to sell eggs and flour to students following a spate of attacks on passing cars.[4]
In 2009, Christopher Darby became the first lay person to become president of the college, taking over from Father Michael Carney.[5]
