It's terrible to see such an iconic building as that being damaged.
I sent 'em off a few quid to help with the restoration work;

"Thank you for your support
Dear Ken Cashman,
Thank you for your donation for Notre Dame of Paris Cathedral.

Let us all save Notre Dame Cathedral together.
All donations received will be entirely devoted to the restauration works.

Thank you again.
The Fondation du patrimoine"


Anyone else interested in donating a few quid to restore one of the worlds finest building can do so here;

Has nothing on the Precious blood in Cabra...Apparently I was in the ND with the wife but can't seem to remember it.Owned by the state so no need for donations they'll only spend it on something else.Hopefully, they can build it less flammable this time.Could make a nice Wetherspoons.

Good Idea, look what they did to The Church on the junction of Mary/Jervis street

Burn all the churches....
Symbols of oppression and theft of the workin class.... Ban all religion especially death cults that offer 70' Virginians after yu die if yu cut the head off of the other stupid cnuts that believe in the other cnut sittin on the other cloud who has  a beard but doesn't wear a turbine..... But has his mate Peter as a bouncer and told his son  that he'd be nailed to a cross for all the sin of the cnuts and to take it on the chin like a man... A bit like micheal Collins an develera... But at least God let jesus know he was going to get it up the bum....
A bit like that.....
Was develera a fianna fail or fianna gowl cunt?

They were crying out for funds last year to do it up, then it goes on fire. I’d be checking the insurance policy.
Now hundreds of thousands also donated to rebuild it this year, but fuck all given last year. Bunch of hypocrites

It was/is/will be an iconic building and fer me being a casual lover of fine architecture Notre Dame was one of the world's finest building.
It took 100 years to build it which would mean none of the original planners lived to see the finished product.

In today's world they can build a house in a day, once the pipes are laid and block-work is done a lorry delivers the rest and it's all put together in just one day !
