Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Thanks engstu & welcome to the thread.

OK we can now see the columns are gone beyond repair…They’re dangerous & will have to be demolished…what a terrible disappointment that is.
I also now fear for the original high altar & pulpit which were in the crypt below the floor, this looks to have been critically damaged

Maybe I’m wrong but the columns appear to have been built on rubble..

At least the rear sanctuary wall can be saved. Some of the statuary has also survived due to being somewhat protected in their niches.
