J.J. McCarthy completed the interior after the death of Duff - in 1860 when work resumed after the Irish Famine. McCarthy was commissioned to dsign the high alter and reredos. He also designed a memorial to a Reverend Coyne which was sculpted by Thomas Kirk. G.C. Ashlin was responsible for the later Italian mosaics in the chancel as well as the design of the pulpet and various embellishments to the interior.

Like many churches of the period, there are fine tiles and mosaics throughout, as well as stained glass by Mayer and Earley.
