st anthonys parish east belfast

[olelad]

was down pass the old parish yesterday and noticed theres building work going on the chapel grounds. whats happening ? 

 
the answer to the question is houses. think you did mention that to me rose b4. anyway i cant believe the pp would let this happen. with the parish hall long gone and bungalows there we now have houses creeping half way up the grounds of the chapel. is the parish in that much debt ? i bet theres alot of [censored] people in the parish

 i bet theres alot of [censored] people in the parish 

answer to 1st question: the parish doesn't benefit - the "church in Ireland" is in debt and we know why;
answer to 2nd question: Yes     but there are very few (and mostly elderly) living round the church now so not enough people to fight it!!

Hi T, no sorry have been involved in lots of little projects this summer and hoping they slow down now so I can do all the things I really want to do.  I sometimes wish I was back in work - it was easier (and paid better . . . )

I think a lotta people felt like you about the builder  . . . and for a time we thought he had!!  But they're up at the roof now so it won't be too long before there are residents.  Very limited car space inside so all will be parking in the Crescent.  Mayhem!!  I pity the people living round about.  But I guess this is what they call "progress"
