Secrets of St Maelruain’s

ST MAELRUAIN’S Church in Tallaght village will be open for Culture Night this Friday, September 23, from 4pm, with guided tours of the 200-year-old building being given by Reverend William Deverell.

The architectural heritage and history of the landmark structure will be explored during the tours, and no advance booking is required – members of the public are welcome to drop in until 10pm.

“If you have never seen inside the 200-year-old church please avail of the opportunity,” said Rev Deverell, “and also learn about the eighth-century site when Tallaght and Finglas were the Eyes of Ireland in the Land of Saints and Scholars.”
