Fundraising drive to aid restoration works at landmark church

A landmark church in Cork City is at risk of crumbling unless it receives an urgent cash injection.

A major fundraising drive has been launched to aid repairs at the early Gothic-style St Vincent’s Church in Sunday’s Well, which opened in 1856.

For the past three years, preventative maintenance work has been carried out to weatherproof the south face of the church, thanks to grants from Cork City Council and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
