SUB-ALTERS, TUAM CATHEDRAL, CO. GALWAY.- The accompanying sketch shows a portion of the highly finished interior of the magnificent Catholic Cathedral of Tuam, county Galway, dating from 1823, and standing near the site of the abbey which St. Jarlath is said to have converted into a cathedral early in the sixth century. It is claimed, however, by the Episcopalians of Tuam, that their cathedral, restored some years ago under supervision of a Dublin gentleman, named Deane, really occupies the original site.
