Based at Skeoge Business Park, Art Glass, Artists in Glass are working on a substantial contract at Enniscronne in Co Mayo for a complex of new stained glass windows in the church.
The contract for 20 large scale and religiously themed windows is believed to be the biggest new stained glass design project this year on the island of Ireland.
Art Glass won the contract at Enniscronne in 2007 and is currently installing the stained glass windows that the team in Londonderry designed and made in consultation with the church authorities in Co Mayo.

Invest NI's De Gartland said: "This is an immensely impressive project that shows the superb design and production skills to be found here at Art Glass.
"When one sees the quality of the work on the Enniscronne contract, it's easy to understand how the company has built up a portfolio of high profile clients, particularly in the Republic that includes major architectural practices and contractors.
"Art Glass is now ideally placed to take advantage of the trend towards the greater relevance of works of Art and Imaging in glass as a lifestyle/public canvas, community statement."
Business owner Philip Coyle said: "The Enniscronne contract was quite a challenge because of the number, size and style of the windows required.
"Our glass is being use by the local community to provide a more ecstatically pleasing interior in keeping with the importance of the building within a traditional building dating back to the sixties.
"Invest NI has helped us to improve our overall competitiveness through, for example, the development of new products, and in marketing our artistic expertise."
He added: "We see opportunities to grow our company further by using our capabilities to develop our services in decorative laminated/fire glass."
