THE owners of Glasnevin Cemetery have decided to "discontinue" a controversial memorial wall commemorating those killed in the War of Independence after the latest attack by vandals
The north Dublin cemetery's Necrology Wall remembers the deaths of British soldiers and RIC, as well as civilians and IRA volunteers killed in the 1916 conflict.
In a statement, the Dublin Cemeteries Trust said it took the decision "with great regret", following a third act of vandalism of a "severe nature".
The statement said that if the wall was repaired it would likely be vandalised again.
"Dublin Cemeteries Trust is not in a position to cover the costs of continually repairing the wall or in the position to provide the security that would be necessary," the trust said.
