@imshaneh The Cathedral was opened by Cardinal Cashing of Boston, so it was probably in his honour.

Why are there American flags when a cathedral was opening? Weere they left over from when JFK was here?
The car seems to be moving slow by modern standards. Maybe there was a speed limit of 10mph.

@damian1202001Cool. It would be great if their was more of these videos of old Galway but as I said in an earlier post, home video cameras were not the norm.

This was filmed to coincide with the 'grand' opening of the Galway cathedral in 1965.
Hence all the flags, American, Irish and Vatican.
