PARISH WORKS
During the summer a number of necessary works were carried out on parish property. These included repair works to the tower at St David’s church Mullinarrigle sealing all external water from entering the church. The total outlay here was €20,037 (including vat and fees). An improved outside lighting system for the Rosbercon Church and Parochial House came in at €11,952 (including Vat) while the removing of a row of brickwork from the wall separating the New Cemetery Extension from the main cemetery cost €1,668 (including Vat) to complete.
VAT REFUNDS
The parish has recently received a cheque from the Revenue for €19,519 in tax refunds for the years 2015/2016. This is as result of tax paid by parishioners both those on PAYE and the Self Assessed on donations to the church which were refunded to the parish funds. This is a very welcome addition to the parish coffers and many thanks goes to all those who he co-operated in the scheme,
