Take Dermot to church: See inside Don Mescall's converted church home in Cavan

Don Mescall, a renowned producer and singer/songwriter, purchased Quivvy Church in Co. Cavan in 2019, just before Ireland went into lockdown. He moved into the 1800s church, initially finding it dark and damp but instantly drawn to its space and windows. He recalled placing a plectrum in a window crack as a personal touch before renovations began. Over two and a half years, Don transformed the church into a stunning home, incorporating a built-in recording studio where he performs much of his production work. Dermot Bannon, an architect, praised the space’s dramatic yet intimate qualities, noting the massive ceilings and thick stone walls. Don shared his reasons for buying the church, mentioning his admiration for the architectural perspective and the unique energy of the space. Additionally, Don discussed his relationship status, confirming he was single at the time of filming. He previously dated Gerry Ryan’s ex-wife for six years before splitting, but rumors surfaced again after he was seen with Morah Ryan at his mother’s 102nd birthday celebration, where he shared a heartfelt caption about the joyful event.
