Volunteers have removed almost a tonne of rubbish from one of the most historic cemeteries in Cork just weeks after littering and a graffiti attack caused upset and distress.

A team of about 20 locals removed the material from Inniscarra Cemetery, just west of Ballincollig, and tidied paths and removed overgrown vegetation.
