DUBLIN St Patrick’s Cathedral – High Roofs

Thursday, 28th January 2021

Work on the High Roofs has benefited from a €1million allocation from @housing.localgov.heritage to ensure completion of repair. Funding was recently announced by Minister for Housing, Local Government & Heritage, @darraghobrientd and Minister of State for Heritage & Electoral Reform, @malcolmnoonan.

Commenting on the announcement, the Dean and Ordinary of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the Very Reverend Dr William Morton, said: “My gratitude to the Department is immeasurable for the kindness behind this major grant of €1million to the Roof project of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.”

“This most welcome donation towards this essential work will ensure that the Cathedral is conserved and continues to serve as one of Ireland’s top listed buildings in terms of heritage and culture in the widest sense – ecclesiastically, musically, architecturally, and economically – as a destination ever increasing in popularity in the higher regions of visitors’ ‘must see’ list in Dublin”.
