Foulkstown
Cemetery
We regret that due to persistent illegal
dumping in Foulkstown, we have had to remove the refuse facilities (skip), that
was intended only for flowers and grave items.
Some individuals were abusing this facility to unload household rubbish
and constant appeals to desist from this action were ignored. We regret having to do this but paying
hundreds of euro to dispose of other peoples rubbish was unsustainable. We now appeal to people to take their
withered flowers and other unwanted grave items home and dispose of them in a
proper manner. Thank you for your
cooperation.
