In recent times, wreaths, flowers and photographs were damaged in Creevelea Abbey Cemetery.


We cannot point at outsiders for this wanton destruction.
It is sad that members of our community engage in such activity, show disrespect for the dead and cause pain
to those who care so well for the graves of loved ones.


It is about time that as a community we face up to the vandalism being done in the cemetery, around
the school & in the wider village area and no longer accept it.


A good starting point might be to establish if any of our own family was involved or at least have the
openness of mind to admit that this could be the case.
