Trinity Presbyterian Church Hall, Bailieborough

Hi Oliver, I saw all the lovely photos you took from buildings around Ireland and more specifically, those of the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Bailieborough. I was wondering if you had any photographs of the building behind the church, the Trinity Presbyterian Church Hall, which has a separate mention in the NIAH database (here) and no photos on commons yet. Category:Trinity Presbyterian Church Hall is the (very empty) category in case you have some you'd like to contribute. Thanks in advance and kind regards, -- Deadstar (msg) 10:06, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
