Re: Re: reordering and destruction of irish cathedrals and churches

Had the promoters of this wrecking had their way, they would have cleared the sanctuary completely. Two things inhibited them, 1 a covenant that had seen signed with the Heritage Council in 1995 – though this on its own wouldn’t have stopped them for long; and 2, the Bishop was forced to make a very public commitment to a very angry group of parishioners in 1998 that the reredos and tabernacle would not be moved. However I do believe that if they get away with this they will begin to scheme to get around both the promise to the people and the covenant with the Heritage Council,- who have been completely silent so far regarding this planning application.Obviously the only remaining intact Gothic Revival Cathedral in Ireland is none of their business!!!!:mad:
