New layout information sign for Killoughey graveyard

The unveiling of a new layout information sign will take place in the old Killoughey graveyard outside Mountbolus after the blessing of the graves on Saturday next, June 28, at 2pm.

The idea by Breda and Odran Condron to erect a sign in the graveyard came after they heard that two families travelled from abroad to find their ancestral graves but were unable to do so due to many of the historic headstones being very old and illegible.

The new sign to be erected will guide people directly to the headstones they are looking for when they visit the historic graveyard.

This would not have been made possible without the assistance of local Councillor Neil Feighery and Tullamore Municipal Council who provided funding for the project.
