The conservation works to Cormac’s Chapel at the Rock of Cashel have been underway for a number of years and are now completed. The work has involved the consolidation and repair of the roof, repointing of wall elements to eliminate a significant water penetration problem, the gradual drying out of the building and the eradication of micro biological growth from the internal wall paintings.

Dismantling of the scaffolding will be commenced before the end of the year and will be completed within weeks of commencement.
