I had understood from the Irish Independent article that the tiles were in Cork, Ennis, Galway and Limerick. Then I read of there being tiles in Dublin – particularly in the Stoneybatter area.
In April, 2014, I was told of there being some tiles in Athlone. Thanks to JM and SH for checking out the locations for me.
The Historic Town Visitor Information boards in Ennis include a photograph of one of the tiles and states that they were made to commemorate the Eucharistic Congress in 1932.
However, in January 2014 I read an article in the Irish Independent which stated that The Poor Clare's had come across research to indicate that the tiles were introduced earlier than that.
So far on the website, I have details of the tiles in Athlone; Co. Clare; Ennis; Cork; Dublin; Limerick; Co. Limerick; Galway City; Co. Galway; Co. Kerry; Co. Roscommon; and, Co. Mayo.
I have probably not recorded all tiles (current and since removed) in these and other locations. I will update as soon as I see any more. If you know of any more, please contact me
