Grave issue for Christian country

AS one who is involved in the upgrading and preservation of ancient churches and cemeteries, your report headlined ‘Coffins brought to graveyard by trailer’ (January 27), while true, really upset me.

I am grateful to Cllr Kevin O’Keeffe for raising the matter at Cork County Council, but disappointed at the response of some members and the report from the Historic Monuments Advisory Committee rejecting Cllr O’Keeffe’s appeal to have the council lay a hard grit surface roadway into Mologga cemetery near Kildorrery in north Cork.

How very sad in a Christian country. I was advised by friends this matter would be discussed at a council meeting on January 26 and made my way there to hear the debate.
