DUBLIN RESTORATION PROJECT
Latest news on the Restoration Project

Having raised and spent over €750,000, you might think the restoration project should be drawing to a close. A lot has been done, and we’re extremely grateful to all those who have made, and continue to make, such generous contributions. With the exception of a small amount still due under retention, our bills from the builders have now been paid. We will be left with just under €40,000 remaining to be spent.
While the majority of the work is now complete, there are some remaining items to be addressed, chief of which is the rewiring of sections of the building. This was listed on the original restoration plan, and the restoration committee has decided that the remaining funds, along with any further funds to be raised, should be spent on this. We are also discussing the installation of some additional attractive and energy efficient lighting inside the church. The decision to restore the gargoyles has been altered somewhat to allow for the reconstruction of one gargoyle only (the most damaged one) for the time being.
We are therefore asking those who are making regular contributions to continue doing so for the coming year, until the final work has been completed. There has been a suggestion that we might then consider creating a building maintenance fund so that future generations can keep the building in good condition.
