Shortage of graves may be resolved

A DISCOVERY by Killarney Town Council that it owns four acres on the edge of Killarney National Park may help resolve a burial ground problem in the area, it emerged yesterday.

Independent Councillor Michael Gleeson made the discovery while perusing an act dating to 1932 under which the park was set up.

And, while he criticised senior civil servants for their “discourtesy and lack of respect” over the past 76 years in not telling the council it owned land in Muckross, he said the four acres could help solve the council’s burial site dilemma.
