FIRE AT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL
CURRAGH CAMP

A fire was discovered at the Curragh Camp Roman Catholic Chapel yesterday soon after 6 O’Clock, and the military fire brigade was quickly on the scene and working with a will. The flames were got under in the course of half an hour, not, however, before the roof had been almost completely burned away and the altar destroyed. The Mass usually held at 11.30 was celebrated in the open air, a tent being erected for the purpose of protecting the altar. The fire is said to have originated thought a defective stove
