Summary
Deputy Murnane O'Connor asked for guidance on whether headstone work could proceed during level 5 restrictions, and the Tánaiste said he believed it was exempt but would double-check.
I want to raise the issue of headstones. I have been contacted by people in Carlow who are looking to have headstones placed on the graves of loved ones but who are experiencing difficulties in so doing. Particularly this year, it is a very sensitive issue. My understanding is that some local authorities are allowing it and others are not. I am just asking for guidance on this matter. No one wants to break the level 5 restrictions, but it is important that people who are grieving are allowed to get this work done.
