Sir, – Your report (Home News, August 24th) about religious groups facing planning warnings about worshipping in warehouses makes for very interesting reading. The Mayor of Fingal would seem to prefer warehouses with the wind blowing through them, weeds growing around them and anti-social activity in such empty buildings. If areas are zoned “general employment” or “high technology” why can’t they also be zoned for places of worship?
It is encouraging to see worship taking place in vacant buildings. They are at least as suitable as the churches and cathedrals built without any concern for local architecture. This applies whether built long ago or recently. – Yours, etc,
PAT NALLY,
