Sustained vandalism forces Offaly church to introduce opening times

ONGOING vandalism at St Catherine s church and its new community garden in Hophill has forced the introduction of opening times there.
“From June 1, due to vandalism we are introducing opening times, from 8am to 4pm, and are in the process of installing monitored CCTV,” said the local Rector Rev. Canon Isaac Delamere
Canon Delamere said there has been an ongoing issue with vandalism and anti-social behaviour at the church for many years.
“It’s quiet location lends itself as a place where youths congregate. The churchwardens will testify that their role regularly involves the picking up of beer cans and slivers of glass from bottles that have been smashed on the tarmacadam. This came to a head in 2018 with the attack on St Catherine’s church when over 100 panes of glass were broken,” he added.
