Tipperary North TD issued an update on Monday afternoon
The Fianna Fáil TD for North Tipperary, Ryan O’Meara has today provided an update in relation to the development works of Boher Graveyard, which has been under development works for a number of years.
Deputy O’Meara stated that this was an issue of concern during the General Election as he and his team canvassed the area.
The Fianna Fáil TD has been in contact with Tipperary County Council on this matter over a number of months and has confirmed that the Council intends to open the burial ground for internments before the end of the year.
Speaking on this today, Deputy O’Meara said: “I am pleased to provide an update in relation to the development works for Boher Burial Ground. I have been working with Tipperary County Council on this issue over a number of months, as many people locally were concerned during the General Election campaign as to when the works would progress and finish.
“Tipperary County Council have informed me that works are progressing towards completion and that a section of the burial grounds are to open for internments by the end of the year.
“This is much anticipated by local people as they are anxious to see the burial grounds open. I will continue to work with local people in the area as well as officials in Tipperary County Council to see these much-anticipated works completed as soon as possible.”
