Council makes urgent appeal for burial land

AN URGENT appeal has been made for suitable burial land in a West Cork village, which has no new interment plots available.

Two residents of Glengarriff had to be recently laid to rest, about 10 miles away, in the village of Kealkil. Although the villages are neighbours, they are in separate dioceses.

Fears are also mounting about the burial capacity remaining in Kealkil, near Bantry.
