"In the history of the Irish arts and crafts movement, one building stands others out for its unique fusion of architecture and the decorative arts, the result of a highly successful collaboration between patron, architect, artist and craftsman. That is the Honan Chapel in Cork in which various preoccupations of the Irish revival – the Celtic revival in art, the Hiberno-Romanesque revival in architecture, and a committed interest in the use of native materials – were combined to great effect." (Paul Larmour: The Honan Chapel, Cork : a shrine to the Irish arts and crafts movement - pages 23-47.)
