Relatives of people buried in the old Dromin graveyard have expressed fears that remains may become exposed after a wall surrounding graves collapsed into a neighbouring field.
And now a debate has begun about who owns the graveyard and how the problem will be resolved.
Addressing the area council meeting on the issue, Director of Services Joe McGuinness said there were 20 burial grounds in charge of the council and Dromin was not one of them.
'We are not walking away from this, even from a public safety point of view, but we have reviewed this with our own legal agents,' he stated. 'It is not local authority vested, it's not ours.'
