A group of Jehovah's Witnesses in Letterkenny, County Donegal build a new 'Kingdom Hall' in three days.
150 Jehovah's Witnesses from all over Ireland and abroad have come together for three days to volunteer their labour to complete the project.
They call them quick builds and that's certainly what this one was.
The idea is that they get the Kingdom Hall built as quickly as possible so that they can get on with their important missionary work.
The aim was to build a hall the size of a large bungalow with room for about two hundred people.
The final building measures 22 metres by 10 metres and is now ready for the Letterkenny congregation. The main meeting hall can seat around one hundred and fifty and the library can take another fifty.
Up to six more quick builds are planned for around the country in the next year.
