Kerry County Council close to securing deal for Killarney burials

Kerry County Council is in “active discussions” to acquire land which has the potential to provide 3,000 burial spaces in Killarney.

The disclosure of a likely new deal to cater for long-term burial needs was made yesterday by senior manager, John Breen.

Negotiations to purchase a privately owned cemetery in Aghadoe, located outside the town, had recently fallen through.
