New Parish Hall

The next phase of the Parish Hall Development is proceeding as planned. The Eigse Players have very generously paid €5,000 to renovate the Parish Room which the Youth Club will use in the future. We thank the Eigse Players for sponsoring the Parish Room for the Youth Club.

Also, the Eigse Players paid €9000 for the Stage in the Main Hall. Again, many thanks.

As you know earlier this year Slieverue Parish received a very generous donation of €20,000 from the Slieverue Community Housing Association towards the renovation of the Parish Hall. We also acknowledge miscellaneous donations of €2282 received during the year. This is very much appreciated by all parishioners.
