I was there the night it went on fire. Staying in my uncles house/shop on Harbour Street. I'll never forget that night. The windows buckled with the heat from the fire. And to think we weren't evacuated and the petrol station across the road. What a night.
Dwell not so much on the devastating fire and ruin. Celebrate the work of the architects and builders who worked on the restoration. The people of Tullamore who contributed and raised the money for the rebuilding. The offers of churches for worship by the other Christian communities Those things somewhat mitigated the temporary loss of the church

And to think,the wrong people were blamed for starting the fire
Very sad, but great you have it recorded for history sake. As well as recording items that are not there anymore. Well done.
I remember it well. Devasting to look at that beautiful church in ruins.
I was there that day too. The replacement is to be proud of.
What year was it built in I wonder
