Church repairs gone to the dogs in Tralee

NECESSARY repairs to four churches straddling the Cork/Kerry border will be funded by a night at the dogs in Tralee later this month.

A €100,000 target for the project has almost been reached, but the organisers are confident they could yet break a record €130,000 set by greyhound enthusiast Fr Moss Brick for his church in Lixnaw, Co Kerry, some years ago.

Four churches in Rathmore parish are in need of repair and work on fitting a new roof to the church in Rathmore itself is almost complete.
