Locals concerned church will sell Drumcondra parish hall

Access for community groups to the Corpus Christi hall on Home Farm Road was stopped last year under Covid-19 restrictions.

The Montessori Children’s Academy, which has been operating from the hall for 28 years, lost a court action in September against the Dublin Archdiocese, which sought the school’s removal from the premises. “The property was reviewed on behalf of the parish by two separate fire safety experts who found that the property presented a fire safety risk and was unsuitable for childcare,” it said.

“This hall was used by young and old, from breastfeeding support to positive ageing clubs to Irish dancing, yoga and ballet,” local resident and protest organiser Angela Boyle-Shafer said. “This is the only parish hall in Drumcondra, all these services have nowhere else to go.”said concerns were growing that the church was preparing to sell the property and the community deserved clarity.

I though the Labour Party comrades wanted the church to keep out of civil society? And let the people to get on with their secular business without church interference 🍺
