Place & story
The Tabernacle Veil
The Kenmare Lace and Design Centre identifies Katie and Mary-Jane Leahy as local lace-workers who worked on the Tabernacle Veil held by the National Museum in Dublin. Its account places the piece within the convent’s production of fine needlework, alongside the original designs preserved at the centre. [2]
