"I would encourage members of the public to engage with this public consultation process, especially if you feel there is significant issues with the council grave yards". 

"I believe we need fair, pragmatic and realistic bye laws that will underpin the rules and management of our public burial grounds in County Tipperary".

"As a Cashel representative I very much welcome this much sought review of our bye laws. I will encourage the local authority to ensure this policy is much more than a piece of paper that it is strictly enforced and implemented," added Cllr Burgess.
