Restoration for Huguenot cemetery gets go-ahead

PLANS to restore Cork’s historic Huguenot cemetery were finally rubber-stamped last night.

City councillors agreed to proceed with the project to save what is one of only two Huguenot cemeteries left in Europe.

The tiny derelict area off Carey’s Lane will be restored, a memorial garden will be built and the area will be opened up to the public.
