Kerry council prioritises contractor appointment for Causeway graveyard extension

Kerry County Council has stated that appointing a contractor to construct an extension to the Causeway graveyard is a top priority, Radio Kerry reported. Fine Gael councillor Michael Foley requested an update on the expansion project during a recent meeting of the Listowel Municipal District. Foley stated that local families are worried about the shortage of space and do not want their deceased relatives buried in other areas. [1]

Radio Kerry reported that the council is currently finalising the purchase of the required land. At the same time, officials are preparing tender documentation to select a contractor for the construction work. Local councils handle localized functions, which can include managing public services and regional facilities. [1][5]

The council stated that it understands the concerns of the public regarding the issue. Officials added that the council will do everything in its power to accommodate anyone who needs a grave in the interim while work on the extension moves forward. [1]
