Amenity works are to be carried out in the area of Westport known as the Rockies, which is the site of a mass grave that dates back to 1847.
Westport town architect Simon Wall outlined that there is no current time frame for works, however he will enter into discussions with the local historical society. Cathaoirleach of the town, Councillor Myles Staunton said that something “fitting and suitable” should be proposed for the consecrated ground.
