Engage with locals in fight to save tower

WITH reference to Ailin Quinlan’s article, “Drive for funds to save tower ahead of winter” in your October 28 issue, I wish to make the following comments:

I am delighted to learn through The Irish Examiner that Alice Taylor is spearheading a campaign to raise funds for the repair of St Mary's Tower, Innishannon and news of local Cllr Kevin Murphy applying for a Heritage Council grant.

In March, I wrote to An Taisce to highlight my concern about the state of the tower and impact of its neglected state on the burial ground and church walls.
