This church stand across the road from Newry Courthouse, the target of a number of republican car bombings - the bollards on the right have been added in an attempt to further protect the well defended courthouse. The church - minus blast walls and bollards - has suffered more damage from these attacks than the intended target. On the night of February 22nd, 2010, damage estimated at £350,000 was caused to the church when a dissidents' device exploded outside the Courthouse. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/newry-congregation-overjoyed-as-bombed-church-rises-again-28590748.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newry_car_bombing
