More graveyard plots, outdoor staff, and dog wardens needed in county Cork

One councillor was also worried about Cork County Council's lack of investment to tackle climate change

Cork County Council heard there are many graveyards in West Cork such as Kilcrohane, Goleen and Schull which are rapidly running out of spaces. File picture

Graveyards are rapidly running out of space in several parts of Co Cork, while piers and harbours are crumbling and there is a lack of council outdoor workers, according to councillors in the county, who are calling for additional funding.

In addition, more dog wardens are needed to be taken on by the local authority who will work outside their normal 9-5 shifts to catch those without licences and who don’t clean up their pets' poo.
