Graveyard thefts continue to be an issue in County Clare, however it appears to be a specific problem at Tulla graveyard as yet another theft occurred over the Christmas period.
Last Monday, Clare’s Crime Prevention Officer, Sgt. Tríona Brook explained that between 22nd December and 25th December, six ornamental barrels were stolen from three family graves and a decorative box was stolen from another grave.
Numerous thefts have occurred at the graveyard in recent times, sparking outrage amongst residents of the town and heartache for the family members affected.
