Vol. 134 No. 2

Written Answers. - Closing of Burial Ground.

asked the Minister for Local Government if, in view of the strong protest of the people of the Ballyvourney area against the closing of St. Gobnait's burial ground, he will have the full circumstances investigated and endeavour to have the wishes of the local people in this matter met.

I was requested by the local authority to make an Order closing the old portion of this burial ground to further interments. A public local inquiry into the question was held on the 13th instant and the inspector's report is awaited. Due notice of the inquiry was given and interested persons had the opportunity of attending and giving evidence.
