The historic little chapel that’s held in huge affection across Cork has been restored and safeguarded for another century.

The landmark 106-year-old Honan Chapel on the grounds of University College Cork (UCC) has undergone a painstaking €1.2m restoration project, the results of which will be unveiled to the public on Monday.
