Plans for new cemetery in Claregalway going back to the drawing board

Plans for a new cemetery in Claregalway appear to be going back to the drawing board. 

A meeting at County Hall this week saw engineers admit that a previously chosen site at Rockwood is likely unsuitable due to access issues. 

That location - near Whiriskey Refrigeration - was extremely unpopular with locals due to its distance from the village and lack of parking spaces. 

And it was indicated to Councillor Albert Dolan this week that a new site will now be sought. 

David Nevin spoke to him after the meeting.
