Plans for Upgrade of Killiney’s Carry Hall Unveiled
The Carry Hall, Holy Trinity Killiney’s parochial hall, is to receive a major facelift. A redevelopment plan for the hall was launched on Advent Sunday, December 1. The works will cost approximately €140,000.
The Carry Hall was built in 1958 and since then has served the needs of the parish. However, with new government legislation and the parish’s desire to make the hall a more usable space it was felt that major work was needed. Over the last year a number of committees have been working along with architect, Peter Roberts to create a building capable of meeting the needs of Killiney in 2013 and beyond.
In recognition of the change the hall has been renamed ‘The Carry Centre’. Over the coming months there will be an intensive fundraising campaign to support the project, this will culminate with an event on Friday April 25 2014 – ‘Who wants to be a Thousandaire?’ This will be held in Fitzpatrick’s Castle Hotel, Killiney.
At the launch Parishioners were invited to make a pledge to the project, these were placed on the ‘Pledge Tree’.
Building work is due to commence in early June with the centre reopening on Sunday September 7 2014.
