It just defies belief that they could have made such a balls of & wasted so much time & resources on that “restoration”? someone has to be held accountable for this disastrous waste of parisherners money…

It is not just parishioners money or diocesan money it is also public money which has been completely wasted and in the process substantial material damage has been done to one of the most important buildings in the country.

As we have pointed out before, the Cobh Cathedral restoration fund received £125K from the heritage Council; in excess of £30K from the EU heritage fund; as well as money from Cork County Council. Indeed the Heritage Counbcil has made a further grant of Euro 70K available for these latest works and does not seem at all concerned to ensure that they will be carried out in a manner that will not cause further deterioration of the fabric of the building.
