THANKS TO D. I.

Just a note to thank you and the Mid-Louth Independent for the great coverage of our recent event to try to save historic Collon Church and for the inclusion in Collon Notes. We hope we can get together enough to re-slate the roof, and therefore save the fantastic ceiling. We think your article and the paper’s coverage will be a big help with this. Best regards, John Rountree (Chair of Friends Committee)
