Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

Johnglas..sorry about the quality of the Ballaghadereen pic’s.. the cathedral looks like very dull in these because I only had my phone camera (rubbish flash) with me at the time I happened to be passing. In reality while sombre & peaceful as you would expect the cathedral has a magnificent medieval quality & superb resonance so while as you say some refurbishment is not totally unjustified, unfortunately I don’t think the proposed changes will accommodate very well to the essence of the building… all that red carpet!!..as to the “movable” hexagonal altar.. I don’t know if it is..are you asking because it’s completely out of proportion with its surroundings?
