A local woman has described her devastation after the grave of a loved one was vandalised and her flowers stolen.
“Mary” says she was watering flowers at the grave in St Kieran’s Cemetery in Kilkenny City on Saturday evening when she noticed a couple of what appeared to be young boys watching her.
She says she left the grave for a few minutes before returning to find the flowers she had bought and taken care of were gone.
Speaking to KCLR News, she says she called the Gardaí but the situation was even worse when she returned the following day with other graves vandalised and flowers pulled up in the cemetery.
