Heritage Council Funding 2017

West wall of the transept. Note where the roots have displaced the stone work.
The Killybegs History and Heritage Committee have secured a grant of €9000 from the Heritage Council. This funding will be used to conserve the west wall of the transept gable.  The conservation works will consist of the removal of the large tree trunks and roots from the wall tops and then the consolidation of the walls using approved techniques and materials.

The conservation of St Catherine's Church has been ongoing for many years and will take a number of years yet to complete.  Conservation works on the are complex due to the large tree and root systems that are present in almost every wall. These tree and root systems are slowly destroying the walls and have to be carefully removed and then masonry repairs can carried out to consolidate them.

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.

  1. I visited these ruins in 2018 after the restoration had begun. Has any more work been done since then? Does anyone have any information concerning the dating of this church?

  3. My name is Vanessa Delarue.
    I am giving these testimonials to attest to the competence of a truly remarkable old man.
    I assure you that I contacted several marabouts who were nothing but fakes, liars, swindlers—I don't know what to call them anymore. But after much searching, I came across this old man who truly restored my happiness, the happiness I've been searching for for so many years. He is truly wonderful. I was suffering from a breakup with my husband; he left me a year and a month ago. I even lost my job. My father was seriously ill, but within three days, I assure you, miracles have happened in my life thanks to this old man. Today, I live well with my husband, my father is cured, I was called back to work, and I even refused, but now I'm in a different department that's better than the other. I really don't know how to thank this old man. He worked on me without charging me a single euro. I felt satisfied first before rewarding him. He is truly very good.
    So, if you're suffering from any problem, if you have any worries, don't worry anymore. Contact this old man directly. Here is his
