Cork cemetery to receive 24-hour security following desecration of graves

A round-the-clock security presence has been introduced at a cemetery on the northside of Cork city after a shocking vandalism attack caused heartbreak for families.

Security guards will patrol St Catherine’s graveyard in Kilcully 24-hours a day for the “foreseeable future” as gardaí continue their investigations into the desecration of several graves at the historic cemetery overnight last Thursday.
