Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

St. Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh, Co. Cork

The Conservation maintenance Plan for Cobh Cathedral consists of some 12 phases. In general, this is a welcome development – teh FOSCC have for long been deploring the fact that the maintenance of this important building has had no structural organisation and no specific on-going maintenhjance checks.

The first 4 phases -designed for the most part to stop water ingress will cost Euro 714,052.00. And that is only for starters.

More worrying however, is phase 12. Here we are back to liturgical requirements again. Certainly, no financial support can be given to the current Cathedral Restoration Project until we have a bit up-front honesty and transparency this time about what the next round of “liturgical requirements” is destined to bring.
