Pressure to findland for graves

Legal obstacles may have to be removed to make land available for a badly needed burial ground in Killarney.

Killarney Town Council owns 14 acres in the Mangerton area, inside the boundaries of Killarney National Park, and the council is seeking to exchange this for other land in the park, which would be used as a graveyard.

The council has earmarked land in the Muckross area, closer to the town, as suitable for a graveyard.
