LOCAL cyclists will set off from Ennis next week will as part of a charity cycle to raise money for work that has been undertaken on the spire of the Cathedral in Ennis. Thirteen volunteers will travel 80 miles from Ennis to Birr on Saturday August 27 as part of a fund-raising drive to pay for the cost of restoration work on the spire.
All donations are gratefully accepted. Work on the restoration of the spire has been completed at a cost of €1.75m. Last year’s cycle to Cork raised €26000 for the project.
This 1s the second year of the event.
The church has also planned a series of other fundraising initiatives.
An art exhibition 1s planned for Christ- mas while there are also plans for a con- cert in the cathedral.
