"Limerick City and County Council has apologised after the gates of Mount St Oliver Cemetery were not opened on Christmas Day, leaving grieving families locked out on what is traditionally one of the most important days of the year for visiting loved ones' graves."
"The issue was raised at this Monday's meeting of the Metropolitan District of Limerick by Councillor Catherine Slattery, who said she received numerous calls and texts on Christmas Day from distressed members of the public."
Limerick City and County Council apologised after the gates of Mount St Oliver Cemetery remained closed on Christmas Day. Grieving families were locked out on a day traditionally regarded as one of the most important for visiting loved ones' graves. The closure prevented customary visits, leaving relatives unable to pay respects or observe family traditions at gravesides. Councillor Catherine Slattery raised the incident at the Metropolitan District of Limerick meeting on Monday. Councillor Slattery said she received numerous calls and texts from distressed members of the public on Christmas Day. The council apology acknowledged the disruption and distress caused to bereaved families.
