Galway Bay fm newsroom - Families who want to bury loved ones in Killimordaly may be able to do so in the future, despite the current cemetery being full.
It's understood Galway County Council has reached an agreement with a neighbouring landowner to acquire adjoining land to expand the cemetery.
There is currently only one single grave space left in Killimordaly.

Councillor Moegie Maher says the council has to undertake trial hole testing to ensure the land is not subject to flooding.
Once the trial testing has been completed, work can begin on transforming the land into a cemetery, providing it meets all requirements.
