Councillors are calling for St John’s Famine Graveyard in Tipperary Town to be taken over by the County Council.
The cemetery is currently run by a local volunteer community but Cllr Anne Marie Ryan says they are struggling to get the funding they need to maintain it.
Her call for the local authority to step-in has been backed by fellow councillors at yesterday’s Municipal District meeting.
Cllr Ryan says it’s an important local site but the footpaths there need urgent work.
