Repairs at Old St. Mary’s –

Both the areas re-roofed last month are showing signs of drying out – and there is no evidence of water coming in anymore!
The Marshall Beresford Fund has awarded us €1,600 towards the cost – we were unable to apply for a Heritage Grant due to the urgency of the works.

We have now applied to the Heritage Council for a grant to clear the bell tower of pigeon debris, repair and fix the louvres and make the tower bird-proof. There are some small repairs required on the roof as well.
