Old graveyard in Ballintemple

My understanding is that the land has been privately owned for some time. They have allowed visitors but unfortunately there's been a fair bit of damage caused partly by wear and tear from sightseers but also some malicious.

As a result it's been closed for general access.

Some people still have burial rights there & they are still allowing visits from relatives etc, just not from the general public.

Was it Andip, I though it was still in limbo as such who owned it. I meet this very interesting man on a walk and he was telling me how the council at one stage wanted to fix the part where it kinda jutted out onto the road but they could not as they could not find the owners.

I does look a lot tidier recently, so maybe it is good that someone took it over, shame to see the vandals going in there...

Yep, I understand the title to the land has now been agreed so I'm guessing that the private sign is the work of whoever owns it. Can't really blame them for limiting access as the earliest recorded burial there dates to 1690 so it woud be a shame to see it get damaged.
