Call extra for lighting at Laois cemetery

Laois County Council has agreed to assess the location

Call extra for lighting at Laois cemetery

Moyanna Cemetery

Laois County Council will assess a rural cemetery following a request for additional lighting. 

Fine Gael Cllr Vivienne Phelan requested the lighting after she was approached by a number of older residents who frequent the cemetery. 

She asked in a motion:“That Laois County Council install lighting at Moyanna cemetery.”

In a written response, a Council Road Design Engineer stated that: “Road Design will arrange to meet with Cllr Vivienne Phelan at this location and an assessment will be carried out with a view to installing public lighting if required.”

Cllr Phelan explained that “it is a rural cemetery in a bit of an isolated location.” She said the older people had indicated to her that they would feel safer if it were better lit. 

The motion was seconded by Independent Cllr Ben Brennan at the monthly meeting of Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District.
