Heritage Council Funding Conservation Works 2016

The Killybegs History and Heritage Committee have secured a grant of €7000 from the Heritage Council. This funding will be used to clean the interior of the St Catherine's Church and lay down a Geo-textile barrier which will be covered by a layer of gravel stones.  This work will allow us create better access for further conservation works on the walls. 

The Killybegs History and Heritage Committee would like to acknowledge the continued support of the Heritage Council in the ongoing conservation of St Catherine's Church.
