Parish Finance Committee

St. Patrick’s Church – Gutters/Drainage

As promised, we can advise Work on the replacement of the Gutters on St. Patrick’s Church was completed at a cost of € 8,543 the Drainage work was € 7,500.

This work was very necessary as the gutters were not sufficient to take the quantity of water coming off the roof. There was only one down pipe and one drain. The new system has two down pipes, two drains and bigger gutters.

St. Mary’s Church

The roof slates which were damaged and ones that damaged through wear and tear, were all replaced. The cost for this work was €908.

The Boilers in both Churches and our Parish Pastoral Centre were all serviced and are ready for the Winter.
