Councillors call for extension on Tipperary graveyards
Local graveyards around the county are almost full and in need of more space
The concerns were raised during the Tipperary-Cahir-Cashel municipal district meeting which was held today in Tipperary Town.
Local councillors have called for extensions of graveyards in Ardfinnan and Cashel.
Space is running out and councillors are calling for the graveyard in Ardfinnan to be extended, while another site will be needed to extend the Cashel graveyard.
Denis Holland of Tipperary County Council's Environment and Climate Action Section outlined the issues the council will face in trying to obtain new land for these sites.
PROBLEMS
Mr. Holland explained that the council will have issues with "the availability of land and the suitability of land" and asked for suggestions if any councillors present had anywhere particular in mind the land could be sought.
