If you haven't seen the Lego cathedral yet, you're in for a lovely surprise.

The detail has to be seen to be believed - each character has its own.personality,including a photographer!

Unveiled in the Library this morning, it's simply magnificent.

Bishop Colm thought it ' superb' , while children and parents were in awe.

Built over 4 months by Jessica Farrell, it will be in the Library for the summer and will also travel to different locations in the county, before taking up permanent residence in the new museum, when built.

Commissioned by Creative Ireland, it's the centre piece of Crinniúna n-óg with support from Longford Co Council.

Don't miss it.

Even on a cool, breezy day our cathedral looks magnificent and the bright May sunshine displays the Harry Clarke studio window in all its splendour.

Aren't we fortunate to have such a sacred oasis of peaceful tranquility .
