A local councillor has praised the condition of a graveyard in County Waterford ahead of an annual Mass.
Fine Gael councillor Niamh O’Donovan took to social media during a recent visit to Knockboy Graveyard.
Cllr O’Donovan praised the work of the local committee for its work in the graveyard, including the planting of flowers and the installation of benches.
She described it as “the best example of a historic graveyard”, with it having a “real focus on nature”.
Cllr O’Donovan continued: “While graveyards would [usually] be a morbid place, this isn’t.
“This is very much a sit down, remember the past and the life gone. Look at the beautiful work.
“There’s loads of benches. While you’re here and relaxing, you have beautiful views and it’s so peaceful.”
In particular, she praised the work of committee member Catherine Cliffe in maintaining the graveyard.
“This is definitely a pride of place in the area of Knockboy,” Cllr O’Donovan added.
She concluded by encouraging people to attend the Knockboy Graveyard Mass, which takes place this evening at 7pm.
