Goodwill flows for damaged church

A Presbyterian church in St Johnston, County Donegal, has been inundated with offers of support after its hall was attacked last week.

A chair lift was set on fire and a door and window broken in the attack.

Ian McCracken, the church's clerk of session, said he feared the repair bill could be up to 60,000 euro.

"We've had a team of industrial cleaners in and it's looking much better now, but it has revealed much more damage than we thought," he said.

"However, we've had messages from our Catholic neighbours saying 'let me know when you're going to clean up and I'll be there with my bucket and cleaning brush'.

"We also had a cheque from a totally anonymous person in Bangor."
