Grave row over 10ft high €60,000 memorial

AN unholy row has broken out over the erection of a huge headstone in Kilmallock cemetery by a Traveller family.

Locals claim the 10ft high marble and granite structure, estimated to have cost more than €60,000, was erected in the dark of night.

A deputation of people, who have relatives buried in the graveyard, complained to the local area meeting of Limerick County Council when it met in Kilmallock last week.
