List of basilicas in Ireland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are only two Basilicas in the Republic of Ireland, Knock Co. Mayo, which was built for Pope John Paul II's visit to Ireland, and also for the Apparition. The other is Lough Derg in Co. Donegal, built to commemorate St. Patrick's place of penance.[1][2]
