Irish Shipping Ltd – A Fleet History

A new book tracing every ship in the Irish Shipping Ltd. fleet from its humble beginnings in 1941 to its sad demise in 1984 is due for publication in the autumn/winter of 2013. The authors, Brian Cleare, Leo Coy and brothers Brian and John Boyce have done many years of research and gathered together over four hundred photographs covering every ship in the fleet. Many of the photographs have never been published before. This fine hardback publication, with more than 500 pages will be a superb source of reference for many years to come. After an initial launch in County Wexford, the authors will visit the ports of Cork, Dublin and Waterford to further promote the book. As is usual with such a publication initial production costs are high. We are offering one hundred people the opportunity to become “investors” in the project. For €100, each “investor” will receive a special, limited edition of the book. Their name will appear in ALL of the 1000 + books printed. Each book will be signed by the authors and will have a special hand drawn sketch of an Irish Shipping Ltd. vessel signed by the artist. In addition, each of these 100 books will have a special dust jacket and will be numbered 1 – 100. If you would like to register your interest please contact:- John Boyce 0863934251 email:johnbridgieboyce@hotmail.com Brian Cleare 0861075057 email:clearebrian@yahoo.com

Leo Coy 0863103417

St. Patrick Church Cross

The cross on the roof of St. Patrick sits on the pinnacle of the church, which is approx 30 feet above the ground. The upper tip of the cross is approximately another 30 feet above that. It weighs approx 3.75 Tonnes. When it was erected the reinforcing bars were post tensioned using hydraulic jacks to provide 8 tonnes of tension in each bar giving a total of 32 tons of tension locked into the cross structure. The work of taking down that structure is a complex job requireing meticulous planning. Our architect, John Maher engaged MTW Partnership of Dublin to plan its removal and last week they provided the plan for that work. We will now seek quotations from competent contractors one of whom we will appoint to carry out work as soon as possible.

Making the replacement cross is also a complex job that requires meticulous planning. John Mahon engaged a local firm, Kent Manufacturing of Wexford, to design and install it. After many meetings over the last few months on Thursday August 29, 2013 the committee and our architect met Kent’s designer, John Roche. We made a final decision on the shape and materials used in the new cross, which will be ready to install once the existing cross has been removed. We have posted a photo rendition of the new cross on the church notice board to show how it will look when the work is finished.
