Catholic
Saint Patrick's Cathedral is a Protestant cathedral. Protestants generally only recognise two sacraments, which are Baptism and Communion. They are available there. IJust in case you are thinking in terms of Catholic sacraments, there is actually no Catholic Cathedral in Dublin. The only other cathedral in Dublin is Christ Church Cathedral, which is also Protestant. There are of course lots of churches in Dublin where the seven Catholic sacraments are available.
mostly catholic but down the north church of Ireland
Strange as it may seem for the capital city of a Catholic country, there is actually no Catholic cathedral in Dublin. Dublin has two cathedrals, both of which are Protestant. St. Patrick's Cathedral is the national cathedral and Christchurch Cathedral is the city cathedral. When Henry VIII brought his form of protestantism to Ireland the status of the cathedrals changed. Since then the city cathedral has not been taken back into Catholic ownership. What Dublin does have is St. Mary's pro-Cathedral, which is Catholic. It holds the title "pro-Cathedral", signifying it does not have full cathedral status for the city, as that still resides with Christchurch Cathedral.
Dublin has 2 main cathedrals, St. Patrick's and Christ Church. Both are Protestant. Dublin actually does not have a Catholic Cathedral. It has what is known as the pro-Cathedral, which is Catholic, but it is not a full cathedral. St. Patrick's, which is the national cathedral, and Christchurch, which is the city cathedral, are close to each other. Their addresses are: Christ Church Cathedral, Christchurch Place, Dublin 8. Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Saint Patrick's Close, Dublin 8, Ireland. The Pro-Cathedral is on Marlborough Street, Dublin 1.
No. Originally it was for Protestants. Catcholics can now attend it.

Many things. It has one of the widest streets in Europe. It has the largest walled public park in Europe. It has the second highest obelisk in the world. It has the highest piece of sculpture in the world. It is the capital of Ireland, a Catholic country, has two cathedrals and yet neither of them are Catholic. It has a neon sign that is protected by law. There are many other interesting things that could be said about Dublin.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin is the Catholic Archbishop. The Protestant Archbishop is John Robert W. Neill.
It is not like that in Dublin and it never was like that. A common misconception is that there are problems all over Ireland between Catholics and Protestants. It is only in Northern Ireland that this happened, and although there are still some problems there, it is perfectly safe to even go there.
