The Irish Dominicans have decided to end their presence in Drogheda, Limerick, Athy, Dublin's Leeson Park and Ballybeg in Waterford.
The Order has been in Drogheda since 1224, in Limerick since 1227. The priory in Athy was founded in 1257 and in the mid 1980s a purpose-built priory was constructed to house the Dominicans living in Athy.
The Dominicans went to Limerick in 1227, where a parish was established in 1973 and a new building, the biblical institute, opened its doors, adjacent to the church/priory in 2000.
The Dominican community in Leeson Park was established in 1987.
Dominicans went to Ballybeg in Waterford in 1975. The move to Ballybeg was part of a policy at the time of showing solidarity with those less fortunate in society. - 'option for the poor'.
Most likely it will take a number of years for the plans to be executed.
