Convent Property Transfer of Ownership
Cappamore Housing Association CLG wish to correct certain false and misleading statements issued in print and on social media in the last number of weeks regarding current ownership conditions attaching to the former convent property.
As per the attached signed Transfer document dated 8th March 2020, the property was transferred from the Sisters of Mercy Trust to Cappamore Housing Association CLG with the following 3 conditions.
- Front portion of property to be developed as a carpark.
- Main convent residence to provide social and residential housing accommodation.
- Should the property be sold within the period of 25 year, 25% of the consideration to be refunded to the Sisters of Mercy.
To facilitate the transfer of the convent residence to the School, the Sisters of Mercy have agreed in principle to amend condition 2 above.
On the 10th September 2024 our solicitor received correspondence from Sisters of Mercy solicitor requesting details “regards change of use and what involvement the Department of Education will have.”
We continue to await meaningful engagement from the Board of Management of Scoil Chaitriona to progress the proposed transfer to the School.

Hello all
I would like to advise you on our plans for the Living Well programme across Mid-West, see our schedule to May 2025 and I also include a Living Well programme brochure fyi.
As we typically plan our programmes to demand, if any of these programmes do not suit some of your interested clients from a location viewpoint, please forward me their names, contact details and location and I can add them to the waiting list. If there is sufficient waiting list demand in that area to hold a programme, we will schedule same and contact interested clients.
Let me know if you require further information and thank you for your support.
The Living Well self-management programme is a free of charge, 2.5 hours per week continuing for 6 weeks thus a 15 hour programme with up to 15 participants with chronic health conditions or carers of people with chronic health conditions. The programmes take place on the same day/time each week. In Midwest, the majority of our programmes are done inperson at various locations throughout the region.
The programme is ran in a very friendly and non-intrusive way and addresses topics such as fatigue, sleep, pain, stress, physical activity, healthy eating, difficult emotions, low mood, depression and general wellbeing. The programme is ran by 2 facilitators, one of who must have a chronic condition themselves. Each participant is given a 400 page reference book ‘’Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions’’ which is a bestselling medical book but written in non-medical language.
Living Well is an evidence based, structured Self-management Programme originally developed in Stanford University, California in the 1990’s. The programme has been delivered in Ireland since 2005 and is used worldwide. It has been shown to improve quality of life and mental health and adopts a population health approach.
See the HSE website for more information: https://www.hse.ie/ Type ‘Living Well programme’ in the search option to see detailed information on the programme including access to an informative podcast on HSE YouTube: https://youtu.be/Jd9TXot-PzA
