'Where is our Christianity?': Cork councillor pleas for older graveyards to be maintained

The country's longest-serving county councillor has told his bosses to buck up on their “Christianity” by ensuring that older graveyards are properly maintained.

The impassioned plea was from Cllr Noel Collins, who called his local authority, Cork County Council, to initiate a major revitalisation of policy with regard to the care and maintenance of cemeteries, particularly those closed for many years.
