Conservation work starts on Machaire Gathlán church ruins

Conservation and repair works have begun this week on the ruined church in the old graveyard at Machaire Gathlán, County Donegal.

The project is being funded by Coiste Forbartha Dhobhair Teo, which secured €70,935 from the Community Monuments Fund earlier this year.

Parishioners and visitors have been asked to stay clear of the scaffolding and the fragile church walls while the work proceeds.

A statement posted on the Paróiste Ghaoth Dobhair Facebook page warned that “the masonry is fragile, and the work area is hazardous.”
