Carraig Eden 1870 to 2022

Carraig Eden 1870 to 2022
he battle seemed to be well and truly lost, and the chances of saving Carrig Eden as she stood slipped a little
bit further away each and every day.
The fundraising, the petition, the interviews, the campaigns, the direct appeals to the Assemblies Of God to reconsider…
All those little defeats, mounting and mounting ever since the sale was first announced at Easter last year of the much-loved Greystones building that acts as a halfway house for those desperately trying to get back on their feet…
Potential buyers were regularly parading through the house, whilst the current tenants – facing eviction – had to look elsewhere. It would have only added to the men‘s growing sense of hopelessness and abandonment.
Still, all’s swell that ends swell, and the 30 men living inside Carrig Eden will no doubt be even happier than all those outside who so desperately wanted them to stay.
We swung down this evening, to see how those 30 men felt, but the bulk of them are actually at a religious retreat in Cork until the weekend.
