Don’t alienate us by changing our cathedral

LIKE many others, I have lodged my objection to the proposed alterations to St Coleman’s Cathedral, Cobh.

Don’t alienate us by changing our cathedral

We are only the caretakers of this beautiful building which has withstood the ravages of time. We must keep it in good repair, inside and out, and this has been done over a 10-year period. It was built with donations from home and abroad, sometimes from those who are not of our persuasion and who could ill afford it.

People come from near and far to admire its beauty and workmanship. This was the last sight of Ireland for our emigrants. It was at these altar rails that we received our first Communion, like our fathers and mothers. They are in our thoughts when we go there now with our children and grandchildren.
