Prayer group ends 23-day church occupation after court order in Clonmel, Ireland.

A prayer group, Abbey House Prayer Group, has agreed to end their 23-day occupation of the Friary Church in Clonmel, Tipperary, by midnight following a court order. The group protested the Franciscan Order's decision to close the church due to declining attendance, aging members, and high maintenance costs. The judge has allowed the group to collect their belongings over the weekend and left the door open for future mediation.
