MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 08, 2021

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

That the Chief Executive will engage in a feasibility study to look into the provision of an eco-graveyard to be established within the County. There is significant demand for not only a non-religious graveyard but also a natural burial ground that would act to develop native Woodland and wildflower meadows.

REPORT:

A review of the Council's Burial Ground provisions will be initiated in 2021, consideration will be given to current capacity, future needs and requirements.

It should be noted that (with the exception of the Newcastle Muslim section) that SDCC managed Burial Grounds are secular in nature.
