Concerns were raised about anti-social behaviour, illegal dumping, and loose dogs at a cemetery in Templemore, Tipperary. Ongoing problems near the graveyard are stopping people from visiting loved ones’ graves. Several caravans are present, and there are no bins, leading to rubbish being thrown over the graveyard walls for months. Dogs are also described as a major issue, with people unable to enter the cemetery. The church yard is similarly affected, with space taken up by caravans. Council officials said responsibility may involve multiple departments, including housing for caravan placement and the dog warden for dog control and licensing.
"There's six caravans up there at the moment, and there's no dustbins, you have rubbish going right over the walls of the graveyard, and this is going on for a good few months now,"
"These people should have bins, the same as everybody else, and dogs are a big issue up there as well. People can't even go in to the graveyard in Templemore at the moment."
"In relation to Cllr Moran and a number of those issues in Templemore, you might have to talk to our housing people in relation to the caravans if they're put there by housing, and perhaps our dog warden could pay a visit in terms of dog licences and general dog control,"
