PUBLIC HEALTH (IRELAND) ACT 1878 - SECT 162

Vesting of burial ground by Church Temporalities Commissioners.

162. In case it shall appear to the Local Government Board, upon
representation made to it or otherwise, that for the protection of public
health the opening of any new burial ground in any city or town, or within any
other limits in Ireland, save with the approval of the Local Government Board,
should be prohibited, or that for such protection of public health, or for the
maintenance of public decency, or to prevent a violation of the respect due to
the remains of deceased persons, that burials in any city or town, or within
any other limits, or in any burial ground or places of burial in Ireland,
should be wholly discontinued, or should be discontinued subject to any
exception or qualification, it shall be lawful for the Local Government Board
to order that no new burial ground shall be opened in any city or town or
within such limits, without such previous approval, or that after a time
mentioned in the order burials in any such city or town, or within such
limits, or in such burial grounds, or places of burial, shall be discontinued
wholly or subject to any exceptions or qualifications mentioned in such order,
and so from time to time as circumstances may require.
