I did a little very rough research and reckon that the biggest towns in Ireland in terms of Catholic population look like this:
Dublin Belfast Cork Derry Limerick Tallaght Galway Waterford Bray Drogheda Dundalk Lisburn Newry Craigavon Kilkenny Athlone Wexford Sligo Clonmel Omagh Strabane
Only two of these have an every Sunday TLM with unequivocal approval (Dublin and Kilkenny), though a few more have one in reasonably easy reach (Tallaght, Bray, Drogheda and Dundalk). What can be done to advance the situation?

Dublin is covered, and this takes in Tallaght and Bray. Anyway, I don't think Tallaght would work from the point of view of the churches there all being modern (the one older one was appallingly wreckovated by the Order of Friars Preacher). Waterford and Clonmel are probably together - there the same diocese. Dundalk and Newry are close together, as are Lisburn and Belfast. (I am surprised both Lisburn and Craigavon feature on the list, which must be down to a growing Catholic population). But it is all obviously a great challenge.

Cork can be added to the above.
