Tipperary County Council is currently seeking expressions of interest from landowners within close proximity of New Inn
An appeal has been made to Tipperary land owners over a need for a new graveyard for New Inn and Knockgraffon.
Tipperary County Council, in a letter on June 12 of this year to the people of the parish of New Inn and Knockgraffon, said: "Dear Parishioners, Tipperary County Council is reaching out to you, the people of the parish of New Inn and Knockgraffon, concerning the provision of a new burial ground for your parish.
"As you know, the graveyard at New Inn Church has little or no capacity for new grave spaces.

"This has been a concern for some time and Tipperary County Council has been actively exploring potential sites within the proximity of New Inn for the provision of a new burial ground. Unfortunately, to date, Tipperary County Council has not secured a suitable site for various reasons.
"A suitable site has to satisfy the following criteria: (a) the suitability of the site, i.e. soil suitability, ground water levels, rock level, etc; (b) the susceptibility of the site to flooding; (c) archaeological constraints; (d)access, egress and car parking ; and
(e) planning compliance with the Council's County Development Plan.

"Tipperary County Council is currently seeking expressions of interest from landowners within close proximity of New Inn, who would be willing to dispose of some land, with a view to developing a burial ground.
"If a landowner is interested and wishes to explore this possibility, please contact the parish office or the Environment and Climate Action Section of Tipperary County Council directly at 052-6166406.
"In the meantime, in an effort to alleviate the current capacity issue, the Council is making an appeal to those who may have pre-purchased double/single graves in the past to consider surrendering graves that are unlikely to be used.
"Signed; Michael Moroney, Senior Executive Officer, Environment and Climate Action, Tipperary County Council
