The “modern” St. James’ Church, situated in the ancient town graveyard, was rebuilt in 1807 and renovated in 1974. In addition to a regular Sunday morning service, the church hosts many folk and popular music concerts, including the internationally famous Other Voices series, recorded by RTÉ.

Planning permission was granted in 2020 for an extensive restoration project, costing in excess of €600,000.
The project aims to preserve and enhance this iconic building as a shared cultural and spiritual space for everyone.
