Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

I am told the problem derives from work which was carried out using an unsuitable chemical substance.

The original “restoration” would have been carried out in the mid-1990s. The black substance has been increasingly noticeable since the late 1990s.

The reprot commissioned for the Heritage Council also averts to this.

Also, please note those well and truly air-tight stormglazing panels affixed to the lights of the windows! The National Heritage Council produced a book on conservation of stained glass recently – by David Lawrence – and this process is regarded as “discredited”. So much for conservation…..
