St. Paul's is a Catholic church sited on Arran Quay, Dublin, Ireland.

History

The church was built between 1835 and 1837 to the design of Patrick Byrne who also designed nearby St. Audoen's Catholic Church and the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Adam and Eve's) on Merchants Quay.[1] The tower was completed in 1843 and the statues were added in 1870. It is currently (2017) closed to the public after a decline in numbers living in the parish.
