My impression is that the mass rocks were not the exclusive site for celebration of the mass right up to the repeal of the penal laws around 1830. Rather there was some significant relaxation of prohibition of Catholic Mass. When was it? And to what extent were churches and chapels tolerated and used for Catholic Services in the towns and villages prior to 1830? I’m hoping dr. Fleming will address this angle, and that as a non attendee at the program, I might get some word of his insight to the question afterwards. Thanks sincerely. I have a particular interest in the repeal of the penal laws because, one of the chief allies and agitators along with Daniel O’Connell was a distant Uncle of mine, Richard Lalor shiel.
