Cork Daily Herald - Saturday 22 April 1893 – concerns blessing of the bell. It has been cast by the eminent founders, Messrs Murphy, Dublin, and weighs 2 tons 5 cwt, the metal in parts being six inches in thickness, while an idea of its size can be had from the fact that its largest diameter is over five feet.
Freeman’s Journal - Friday 07 April 1893 – NEW CHURCH BELL A church bell of unusual size has just been cast at the week-known bell foundry of Mr John Murphy, 14 Thomas street. It was ordered by the Bishop of Limerick for a new Catholic church at Ballingarry. It weighs nearly two and a half tons, and is a little heavier than the largest bell in the present peal of Christ Church Cathedral, its note being a shade below middle C.
