Today marks one year since the blaze that destroyed St. Mary’s Church in Derrybeg.
The fire broke out on Easter Monday, engulfing the building and reducing it to ruins.
A fundraising effort after the fire raised over €500,000 towards the construction of a new chapel.
Gardaí ruled out foul play.
An architect has now been appointed, with the concept design at an advanced stage.
A quantity surveyor is also assisting with the insurance claim, which is progressing.
