Caherconlish Roof Repair: For some time, it has been obvious to the casual observer that the fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes in Caherconlish Church are in very poor condition. Before undertaking any work, the Parish Finance committee decided to seek professional advice. The report shows that the slates on the upper and lower roofs need to be replaced. The upper bitumen flat roofs, which are in very poor condition, as are fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes also need to be replaced. We have received quotations for this work and decided to go ahead with it. Copies of the report are available for viewing in both churches.
