Last month, Cllr Eamon Aylward stated that access to the graveyard 'is nigh on impossible at present due to the height of the weeds and the grass'.

"It was cut before and it needs to be cut again," he said.

Cllr Pat Dunphy agreed, stating that some stones lay hidden beneath the overgrowth, posing potential trip hazards to visitors, to which Cllr Aylward replied by saying 'it's very dangerous'.
