Dominicans leave Athy

The Irish Dominicans moved out of their priory in Athy yesterday.

The modern design church was built in the mid-1960s. The priory, on the site of an older building, was built in the 1980s.

Forward planning?

A woman living in Athy commented that Athy has little or no industry and therefore has high unemployment.

Option for the poor?
