Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

From what I understand Ian Lumley was simply shocked at the scale of intervention proposed at the Cathedral it is also worth taking notice that An Taisce Corcaigh played a very important role on the An Taisce Appeal and that some members of An Taisce Corcaigh are both local parishioners of St Colmans as well as long term members of ATC . It is simply untrue to accuse An Taisce or the Irish Georgian society of hijacking this matter as part of a wider campaign aimed at the church.

Their submissions were simply a reaction to the unprecedented scale of works proposed in one of Ireland’s finest Cathedrals and those proposed works were found to be unacceptable in many quarters. Other than the Bishop and design team who actually supported the works?
