Visitors to Portlaoise cemetery are robbing flowerpots and also driving on top of other people's graves, according to local councillors.
The practice of driving right through the cemetery to visit graves of loved ones in common in St Peter & Paul's cemetery, they say.
Tyre marks can be seen on graves in the new lawn section of the cemetery, which is causing huge upset, says Cllr Caroline Dwane Stanley.
"The whole way down the row there are tyre marks on graves. Family members are very upset, this needs to be addressed. A removable bollard each end would prevent this," she said.
