Church to become arts venue
A historic Cork church which closed its doors four years ago because of a dwindling congregation is to be transformed into a performing arts venue after the local council spent €690,000 to buy the premises from a private owner.
St Luke's Church, in Summerhill, on the northside of Cork City, was the largest Church of Ireland building in the Cork and Ross Diocese prior to its closure in March 2003.
The deconsecrated St Luke's church was bought by businessman Pat Dineen, and he has now sold it to Cork City Council for use as a cultural venue.
