Ballybunion, Co. Kerry
St. Johns Church dates from the pugin design era and is one of the only two such churches from this era located in Kerry.
The church was designed by Mary Young and the original construction of the church started in the 1980’s. The church is listed in the record of protected structures in Kerry County Councils Development Plan 2009-2015 and is therefore subject to statutory protection under the planning and development act 2000-2010.
The project consisted of the extension, conservation, restoration and upgrading of the interior and exterior along with landscaping works to St. Johns church.
Extensive demolition works were carried out to the roof and floor of the church along with restoration works to the external envelope of the building. External works included the provision of new foul and surface water drainage, hard and soft landscaping. New mechanical, electrical and fire detection packages were installed during restoration works.
