Couple gets dying wish to be buried with animals

SUZANNE HOLMES and her husband like to plot their next move. And now the animal-loving couple can after being granted planning permission to be buried with their dogs and horses near their home in Waterford.

Suzanne, 56, and her husband Clive, 65, have trained racehorses and had pets all their lives. They've been granted planning for a private burial ground on their 300-acre estate at Kilmacthomas, Waterford.

It took an appeal to An Bord Pleanála, but last night Suzanne, who is originally from London, said it was worth the wait.
